Could you be more specific? Note that while the text files currently
provided on crash-analysis, they are not the full dataset: they include
a limited and specific set of fields. It looks to me like telemetry
payloads typically include many more fields, and some of these are not
single-value fields but rather more complex histograms and such. Putting
all of that into text files may leave us with unworkably large text files.
Because the raw crash files do not include new metadata fields, this has
led to weird engineering practices like shoving interesting metadata
into the freeform app notes field, and then parsing that data back out
later. I'm worried about perpetuating this kind of behavior, which is
hard on the database and leads to very arcane queries in many cases.
What is the current volume of telemetry pings per day?
