1369166 - retrieving_symbol gauge no longer makes sense

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

When doing symbolication, we do a GETMANY on the LRU cache. Then we try to figure out how many bytes of data we got out. [0]

It does this by doing a `pickle.dumps()` on the object retrieved from `store.get_many()`. That almost made sense when our LRU django-redis configuration was using plain Python pickles. 

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1364195 (https://github.com/mozilla-services/tecken/commit/c754e4064efb90f214b50d024ca5eca2a274af64) we switched to use msgpack as the serializer and zlib as the compressor. 

Not only is this quite an expensive computation, it is also very little value in knowing how many bytes of data we, over time, retrieve out of the LRU cache. 

Let's drop this measurement.
