Description

As this is slightly relevant when constructing search queries for stats.

e.g. from https://wikimedia.biterg.io/edit/app/kibana#/discover in the gerrit index :

author_name	   	Sam Reed
author_user_name	   	reedy
name	   	Reedy

Seeing e.g. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/383289/ , Reedy is used.

Looking at the DB dump,

as the profile name, Sam Reed is set.
as the gerrit username, it is sometimes reedy and sometimes null and sometimes an empty string.
as the gerrit name, it is sometimes Reedy and sometimes Sam Reed

Don't think I can find out myself:

$:acko\> grep -r user_name --exclude="*.json" .
./grimoirelab/panels/README.md:* author_user_name
./grimoirelab/sortinghat/sortinghat/parsing/stackalytics.py:                    "user_name": "John Smith",
./grimoirelab/sortinghat/sortinghat/parsing/stackalytics.py:                    "user_name": "John Doe",
./grimoirelab/sortinghat/sortinghat/parsing/stackalytics.py:                name = self.__encode(user['user_name'])
./grimoirelab/sortinghat/build/lib/sortinghat/parsing/stackalytics.py:                    "user_name": "John Smith",
./grimoirelab/sortinghat/build/lib/sortinghat/parsing/stackalytics.py:                    "user_name": "John Doe",
./grimoirelab/sortinghat/build/lib/sortinghat/parsing/stackalytics.py:                name = self.__encode(user['user_name'])
./grimoirelab/GrimoireELK/grimoire_elk/elk/github.py:            rich_issue['user_name'] = user['name']
./grimoirelab/GrimoireELK/grimoire_elk/elk/github.py:            rich_issue['user_name'] = None
./grimoirelab/GrimoireELK/grimoire_elk/elk/enrich.py:            rol+"_user_name": empty_field,
./grimoirelab/GrimoireELK/grimoire_elk/elk/enrich.py:            eitem_sh[rol+"_user_name"] = None
./grimoirelab/GrimoireELK/grimoire_elk/elk/enrich.py:                eitem_sh[rol+"_user_name"] = identity['username']
./grimoirelab/GrimoireELK/grimoire_elk/elk/enrich.py:            eitem_sh[rol+"_user_name"] = identity['username']

which probably turns this into an upstream documentation request.

Comparison of the three values on the front page:

author_name is the global field name; the other two names are data source specific.
I covered this in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Community_metrics&type=revision&diff=2638787&oldid=2609138 (for me and others).

Closing task as resolved.
