I spent some time on this over the weekend and I have a proof of concept for a new simple data store. It's really dumb: it's a REST interface where you upload a stats JSON file with a PUT request, delete with DELETE and GET with get (or vice versa?). Internally, files are simplistically saved on disk with md5 hashes used for file names. In the future, we'll split that into 2 or more separate files, to reduce the amount of data to process with one request. I looked through the statistics collection code and decided that it needs an overhaul. Unfortunately, there isn't a way other than read the whole messy code, get to understand it again, and rewrite it. The main rewrite idea will be to go from the current set of classes with vaguely stated purposes into a simpler, linear workflow. This will mean that the workflow will be less flexible, but it looks like in practice we don't need too much flexibility anyway. I also noticed some code that is no longer used. One of them is a package comparator which we used some years ago, but I don't hear about it being used any more, so I'll delete it.
