Hi Cassandra DEVs,
I just found there are two implementations of 'cumulative distribution
function' for Exponential Distribution and there are inconsistent :
*FailureDetector*
org.apache.cassandra.gms.ArrivalWindow.p(double)
double p(double t)
{
double mean = mean();
double exponent = (-1)*(t)/mean;
return *Math.pow(Math.E, exponent)*;
}
*DynamicEndpointSnitch*
org.apache.cassandra.locator.AdaptiveLatencyTracker.p(double)
double p(double t)
{
double mean = mean();
double exponent = (-1) * (t) / mean;
return *1 - Math.pow( Math.E, exponent);*
}
According to the Exponential Distribution cumulative distribution function
definition<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution#Cumulative_distribution_function>,
the later one is clear, however,
Could you please explain a bit for the implementation of FailureDetector?
Thanks*,
