1331630 - Filter distribution viewer data to firefox pings

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Metrics: Pipeline, defect, P1)

Description

[Ryan Harter [:harter]]

The distribution viewer cannot filter down to firefox pings because the cross sectional dataset does not include the application_name field. This causes the distribution viewer to report ~25% of users as linux users.

I'll need to add the application_name field to the cross_sectional dataset. Once we have this field I'll ask Rob Hudson to update the downstream job which populates the distribution viewer.

PR 164 [0] adds `application_name_mode` to the cross_sectional dataset. Rob, will you take a look at updating the python job which populates the distribution viewer?

Distribution viewer script updated to filter by "Firefox":

I'd like to backfill our historical data so it is as accurate as possible for the future when we allow historical dataset comparisons.

Rob, do you have a bug open for he future distribution viewer functionality? I will not have time to backfill this sprint. I'd like to close this bug and use Bug 1339847 to track the backfill.
