[cs615asa] [CS615] HW5 Handling Garbage Input Properly

[Matthew Gomez]

I believe en.mw is an aggregation of all the traffic to all mobile sites of
all projects. Also, I believe the link to the file format description is
wrong. I believe the dataset we’re working with is this:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Archive/Data/Pagecounts-raw
while the link on the assignment is to this:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Archive/Data/Pagecounts-all-sites
