Analytics

Done:

   EL: events that are too long are not being sent as varnish (not varnishncsa) cannot process them:   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91347
   Issues with ganglia setup in labs and puppet are resolved, they were preventing us from running puppet in our instances.
   Webrequest tables in hadoop /hive now include processed user agents and parsed x-nalytics fields for easy querying
   Working on usage of scala/spark on the cluster
   VE data coming in for analysis, still gathering data

Will do:

   More spark/scala setup on cluster
   VE analysis of incoming Eventlogging data
   Working on getting metrics for mobile sessions for apps
