[Documentation] cyclic reference in definition of eppfrd and pfrd policies
A minor documentation issue, eppfrd defined as "like pfrd", and vise versa.
| Policy | Description |
|---|---|
| eppfrd (existing path, percentage free random distribution) | Like pfrd but limited to existing paths. |
| pfrd (percentage free random distribution) | Search: Same as eppfrd. Action: Same as eppfrd. Create: Chooses a branch at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total. |
It's not really cyclical. Each policy is really 3. Depending on the usage. search, action, or create. The create is the truly relevant definition. I had specific definitions prior and people complained it was too much to read so I made them relative.
If I revert it it'd be:
-
pfrd (search): Chooses a branch with existing relative path at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total.
-
pfrd (action): Chooses a branch with existing relative path at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total.
-
pfrd (create): Chooses a branch at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total.
-
eppfrd (search): Chooses a branch with existing relative path at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total.
-
eppfrd (action): Chooses a branch with existing relative path at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total.
-
eppfrd (create): Chooses a branch with existing relative path at random with the likelihood of selection based on a branch's available space relative to the total.
eppfrd is ep+pfrd.
It is a kind of pfrd that chooses a branch with existing relative path.
pfrd in my opinion is likly msf: most free space but by percentage.
