Analytics

Updates:

  • Continuing with the work to replace front end and backend of http://stats.wikimedia.org : Wikistats 2.0, a major development is that we will be able to import the edit history from labs rather than prod dbs, huge advantage as this data is redacted and already public.*
  • Working on launching RCStream replacement, review stream plus several other real time streams. Will start working with collaboration on augmented ORES recent changes stream.
  • Started work on processing user_agent field on eventlogging tables, it will be a JSON string like {"OS_Family": "Windows", "Browser_family":"Chrome"....}
  • Found issue with Heap on cluster, set up alarms, will be solved with update to cloudera's newest
  • Still waiting for hardware for pageview API, getting closer
