`mariadb.connect` relies on `analytics-mysql` to identify the database host and port number to connect to, ref [[ https://github.com/wikimedia/wmfdata-python/blob/master/wmfdata/mariadb.py#L30 | mariadb.py lines 30 ]] through 45. By default, cron jobs on stat100* servers do not have the `PATH` set to include the location of `analytics-mysql`, and thus throw an error when trying to query the MariaDB servers. Setting the path of course solves this problem, but there might be preferable long-term solutions that take of this seamlessly. In addition, `analytics-mysql` is not available on `an-test-client1001`, which complicates the process of testing Wmfdata.
