Even though Travis does NOT offer a consistent Go platform, I want
to nevertheless simplify the scaffolding scripts around it to make
it easier for other folks to perform pull requests, reviews, etc.
while letting the tests run.
Aalok Shah informs me that Travis CI ought to be permissive with the
languages it supports. This is a trial at setting it to Go, given that
apparently Erlang now requires a OTP release.
- Provide better examples in the examples subdirectory.
- Make the comments consistent in terms of using multi-line format for future-proofing.
- Extract major constants out.
- Added normal and exponential distributions to one of the examples.
- Improved the naming of a couple of local variables.
- Handled an error in the AccumulatingBucket ValueForIndex function whereby
the vestigal old behavior was accidentally preserved and not updated.
This could have been caught had the tests been updated first.
- Simplify Histogram prospectiveIndexForPercentile such that various
small tasks it performs are extracted into separate functions for easier
testing and code comprehension.
- Remedy a regression in Histogram prospectiveIndexForPercentile whereby
the prospective index may have included the terminating element of a
bucket.
- Provide help for Histogram prospectiveIndexForPercentile such that requesting
the terminating element of a bucket will fast-forward to the first element of
the next non-empty bucket.
- Fix TallingBucket's boundary constant, because they were originally keyed toward
percentages [0, 100], not decimal-based ones. The antique tests had been
temporarily commented out, which prevented this regression from being exposed.
the original and deprecated function was never deleted and migrated. This has
been done.
- Update associated tests, which were originally inaccurate, to correct expectations!
