Thanks Francisco! 

To express it from the perspective of users of this data: The results of your EventlLogging queries may change slightly, but for the better, improving accuracy. (In the past e.g. GoogleBot has shown up in schemas for mobile web and the Android Wikipedia app.)

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!
