Upgrade from 3.X to 4

Run the mongo client and execute the following commands:

    use fraudstopper;
    db.users.update({}, {$set: {sourceName: "production"}}, {multi: true});
    db.filestats.update({}, {$set: {sourceName: "production"}}, {multi: true});

These commands will update the existing users and filestats documents to include the production sourceName. If the source name you've specific in the configuration file is different than 'production', modify the update commands as appropriate.
