proposal: Move obsolete histograms to obsolete.xml |
|
Issue descriptionThe obsolete histograms are included in histograms.xml with the non-obsolete ones. Can they be moved into a separate obsolete.xml file? It looks like there are approx. 3700+ metrics that are currently marked obsolete. So moving them out into a separate file would reduce the size of histograms.xml (and thus hopefully make the scripts that deal with this script faster).

Ilya has an intern project approved for fall to actually remove the need to keep <obsolete> entries in histograms.xml. (Basically, by keeping a database of the historical data for removed histograms.) So the problem will go away when that will be implemented. I suggest we just wait for that to happen rather than spending extra effort in the mean time on a solution that will be temporary. (On the other hand, if someone feels strongly about it, I won't veto a patch to do this - just doesn't seem worth it given the upcoming project.) |
