Just spoke with Jaime Crespo and he confirmed that:
- m4-master (master EL database) only holds events for the last 45 days to avoid space problems. That's for all tables including Echo.
- analytics-storage is the replica that keeps the historical data and is meant to apply the specific purging strategy agreed in the schema's talk page. This database does not have space problems (yet).

No! Please do not nuke old data. +1 to J-Mo. This will probably be useful for long-term studies of notifications. If I had the time, I'd pick it up right now based on this reminder!
I'm happy with having historical data preserved (please makes sure that it is) and the MySQL table dropped until a recent point. It will be important that we can come back to this later and either restore the data or query it in it's entirety from hadoop.

I want to mention that data in Hadoop is only available from Aug 27th 2015. Older data is only available in mysql.

If the data is going to be retained but would just become harder to query (i.e. still in Hadoop but not in mysql), maybe we could nuke data that's more than a year old (or 6 months old or something) from mysql?

We could blacklist this schema from the mysql database, and still keep producing it. It would be available in Hadoop either way.

Hi Nuria,
FWIW: Although I'm not using this right now, but I could see it being useful for understanding the impact of new notification updates that are coming down the pike.[1][2]
What are the costs involved in keeping this schema up?
Best, J

Roan:
The data for Echo schema(https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schema:Echo) is quite large and we are not sure is even used.
Can you confirm either way? If it is no longer used we will stop collecting it.
Thanks,
Nuria
