Add Usage data tracking using Redis HLL for UI events
What does this MR do?
Add UsageData#increment_unique_values
API
-
Add usage_data_api feature, enabled by default in order to be able to stop if we see scaling issues -
Users should be authenticated in order to be able to call this method -
Documentation is only under Telemetry guide -
Open a follow up issue to see how to handle unauthenticated users #246823 (closed) -
Allow known_events only this is already done, we could count only on metrics defined in known_events.yml -
Allow to send any values(values will be in responsibility of the API users) with the mention that we do a check -
for the string value size, allow strings of max 36 size(choosing this as it is a use case at the moment) -
and size of the array that we allow to receive, maybe test with different array sized(I would start with 10 elements) There is no real use case at this moment
