Hi Hassan,
In 2008, when the original file format was conceived that fourth column contained
'total bytes transferred'.
I have never seen anyone use that number.
So in derivative and aggregated versions that number has been set to zero for a long
time.
In the third incarnation of this data stream it's still there just to not break client
scripts which may expect it.
Cheers,
Erik Zachte

Subject: [Analytics] Problem in Pageviews Files
Hi, thanks for the great work.
I have a question about data files available at
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageviews/
As I understood, in each line, the third column is number of pageviews and the fourth one
is its total traffic. But the fourth column is always zero! Did I make a mistake in
understanding the meaning of these numbers?
For example in line 346 of file
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageviews/2016/2016-04/projectviews-20160…
we see "en - 4271631 0" which means there were 4271631 views for that project,
with zero traffic!
Thanks in advance,
Hassan
