816239 - Provide histogram comparisons based on build id

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Metrics :: Frontend Reports, defect)

Currently the comparison tool allows filtering based on version, os, etc. It would be more useful to compare based on buildid. A simple calendar widget should provide the midpoint. Based on the date selected the dashboard should use >=yyyymmdd* and <yyymmdd* to select applicable builds.

Without this functionality we have to compare based on versions which is terrible for granularity.

If we use >=yyyymmdd* and <yyymmdd* to select applicable builds then, for example, with build ID 20130215130331 then we could have some builds between 20130215000000 and that build, so if we include the day of the build ID in one interval it would have data before and after that build.

How about the intervals don't include the day that is chosen? 

This is available at https://metrics.mozilla.com/data/content/pentaho-cdf-dd/Render?solution=metrics2&path=%2Ftelemetry&file=telemetryHistogram2.wcdf

On "Compare:" choose "App Build ID Date" (can you suggest something better to put here?) and a date picker will appear on the right of it. It will start with one week ago, so the intervals would be:
- before {"from":"20130219000000","to":"20130301000000"} (previous 10 days)
- after  {"from":"20130302000000","to":"20130311000000"} (next 10 days)

Can we commit these changes on the public server?
We need to git pull and create branches for each repository

Taras, could you please review this version and give us the go-ahead to replace the existing dashboard with this new version?

this is a lot rougher than the evolution improvement, but the functionality is useful. Lets deploy it.
