--- Comment #3 from Dan Andreescu <[email protected]> ---
wikimetrics is using sqlalchemy, and that's a bit of a mismatch with mediawiki
utilities.  I don't think that's too big of a deal, we could integrate the
tools if it's a good idea.  But that depends on which way wikimetrics as a
product goes, and how we structure our data pipeline.

One possibility is to have wikimetrics become the ETL tool for public data.  It
could restructure our OLTP + recent changes + event streams into a more
traditional, easy to work with, data warehouse.  In that case, the logic from
mediawiki-utilities would be very useful.  We may wish to convert some of it to
sqlalchemy, but that's a minor point.

Another possibility is to have a separate ETL process, based on an existing
tool or a combination of tools.  Wikimetrics would then be re-fashioned to
query on top of the resulting data warehouse.  In that case,
mediawiki-utilities could be used to inform the ETL process but it would have a
very different purpose from Wikimetrics.

I'm not opinionated on which way we go, but I think we should keep this bug
open as a reminder of the great logic encapsulated in mediawiki-utilities.
