Blank the event.page_title column in the editorjourney table in the Data Lake
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

We have identified data quality issues with the event.page_title column in the EditorJourney schema's table in the Data Lake. A patch to stop logging data for that column is being prepared in T213974. We would like to have the existing data in the column blanked (replaced with an empty string).

@nettrom_WMF data in hive cannot be modified without it being deleted and rewritten (that is right, no alters in hadoop, you can change a column type but not its data) so we do not do this type of modification. Our recommendation here would be to document issues on talk page .

Ok, @MMiller_WMF confirmed no entry is needed in whitelist.

We're fine with letting this data get purged as it otherwise would, so I'm closing this.
