Oct 03 14:27:40 <Cww>   2) blanks aren't zero but interpolated.
...
Oct 03 14:28:48 <mythmon>       2) I knew about, but wasn't sure how to proceed.
Oct 03 14:28:53 <mythmon>       old input interpolated too.
Oct 03 14:29:00 <mythmon>       I should be able to get it to zero out missing days.
Oct 03 14:29:07 <willkg>        2 would go away once we start getting more data.
Oct 03 14:29:16 <willkg>        ergo, should we really worry about it?
Oct 03 14:29:28 <mythmon>       i think we should.
Oct 03 14:29:36 <mythmon>       it shows up in other places too.
Oct 03 14:29:40 <willkg>        why?
Oct 03 14:29:47 <willkg>        what other places?
Oct 03 14:30:11 <mythmon>       for example, if you filter from july 1st to august 1st, but data only exists after july 20th, the graph will zoom to that.
Oct 03 14:30:28 <Cww>   willkg: no 2 is bad, especially once you filter on search terms.
Oct 03 14:30:46 <mythmon>       so if you search for something that only happens infrequently,the graph can be quite misleading.
Oct 03 14:30:54 <willkg>        ahh... ok.

Making this a P3 and putting it in the 2012.20 sprint. Assigning to Mike since he knows what the problem is.

I estimate this to be a 2pt bug, since it requires massaging the data that elasticsearch is putting out, it can't be done by elasticsearch, as far as I know.
