Hi all,

Today we'll be deploying a change that affects how events triggered by bots/spiders are stored. We have added a property to the user agent map in the event capsule called is_bot, which we use to prevent them from being persisted in MySQL, and store them only in Hadoop.

For more information on this change refer to phab task T67508.

Thank you!
