1426186 - document scripts/reprocess.py script and usage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

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

If you do:

    ./scripts/reprocess.py --help

it'll give you command line help. However, it's prudent for us to add a "how to reprocess crashes" section to the docs that includes how to use the script in conjunction with other scripts, other ways of reprocessing crashes, and things to be aware of like how it affects our infrastructure.

This bug covers writing up that documentation.

Peter mentioned updating the README for his reprocess-supersearch script (https://github.com/peterbe/reprocess-supersearch). I think we should document our process first, but otherwise that's probably a good idea. Similarly for any other reprocess systems.

I can move the reprocess-supersearch repo from peterbe to mozilla too if anything like that helps.

Grabbing this to do now because I'm looking at my reprocessing notes from a month ago.

fixes bug 1426186 - add reprocessing howto

This adds some crude documentation for reprocessing crashes including some
hand-wavey warnings about being cautious about adding crash ids to the queue
faster than they can be processed.
