1361525 - Register ping docType for Flash Shield study as "flash-shield-study"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Data Platform and Tools :: General, enhancement, P1)

Description

[:Felipe Gomes (needinfo for replies!)]

Attachment: flash_shield_study-ping.json

On bug 1335232, we are releasing a Shield study with an add-on that will send us a custom ping named "flash-shield-study". In order to make it easier to query this data, so that it doesn't get aggregated with other pings, we want to partition this ping separately.

Is the schema necessary? The payload is a bit complex, so hopefully not.. In an any case, I've attached an example payload here, and the documentation for this payload is at https://github.com/squarewave/shield-study-essential-flash/blob/master/docs/metrics.md

My understanding is that pings are expected to start being sent a few days from now. I plan on deploying this change alongside the code changes in bug #1337927, which despite being closed is not actually ready for production deployment until https://github.com/mozilla-services/mozilla-pipeline-schemas/pull/44 is merged. I expect this to occur in a time frame that allows for these changes to be deployed simultaneously, but in the case of a delay on merging that PR I will deploy this change separately.

I believe a schema is not currently necessary but is highly encouraged, especially for ease of query access via direct-to-parquet.

Apparently I was given heads up about this in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1335374#c17, so this should already be set up.
