1339841 - ignore windows XP data from seeding SETA

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tree Management Graveyard :: Treeherder: SETA, defect)

right now SETA takes data from many sources, one of those is windows XP.  We decommissioned this about 10 weeks ago, but we still have 6+ weeks of windows xp failure data influencing the results of SETA.

To make this accurate, I propose a hack to remove windowsXP* data from the bucket of data we analyze.

playing with this locally, I see us going from 148 high value jobs to 160 high value jobs- this says that windows xp has a real effect.

Could we do this in a more general way, say by discarding any data which we haven't seen instances of in the last week or so?

oh, I like that idea!  this is why I need others besides me hacking on the SETA algorithm.  That would make a more complicated query- or...we could cross reference with runnable_jobs.json maybe?
