1398946 - remove fakedata generation code from setupdb_app

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task, P3)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

The setupdb app has a mode where it'll generate fake data. The way it works is by generating a bunch of random processed crash data for a non-existent product and then putting that in postgres. There's another script for syncing that data with Elasticsearch. Pretty sure this ignore S3.

Thus, fake data generation results in a state that's missing bits and who knows how that works in the webapp.

I think this code isn't really helpful anymore especially in light of improvements to the local dev environment.

This bug covers removing the setupdb app fake data generation code and the helper script for syncing it to Elasticsearch.

This would be good to do, but the only impact this has is "yay--less code to maintain!"

There's a ton of code here and a bunch of things that point to it. Removing this spaghetti noodle will do us some good. Going to tackle this today.

fixes bug 1398946 - remove fakedata code

This removes a bunch of code we use to generate fakedata. We no longer need
this, so this nixes it.
