Introduce Count unit

dain · 2018-11-01T20:49:03Z

src/main/java/io/airlift/units/Count.java

+        return new Count(size, unit).convertToMostSuccinctCount();
+    }
+
+    private final double value;


Do we want an inexact value for this? IIRC, a single long would get us to 4000 quadrillion.

I was rather thinking about case where something could have fraction part (like water or mass). Though I do not have strong opinion. Would you like me to change this?

I'm not sure. I can't think of any case where I would want to use this for non-integral counts. For water or mass, I assume we would introduce Volume and Mass units. Maybe @electrum or @martint have thoughts.

Notice that DataSize is also using double. Using double here is useful when doing a coversions between different units, like from KB to MB (as fractional part appears). The same happens for Count. When long is used then Count become precise more precise, but not all conversion are possible.

See #9.

Oh good point.

If were going to keep this pattern, I think we should make it clear that the value is inexact.

I renamed this class to Quantity so it now it clear that it may contain fractional part. Also now, it is a bit more general.

Automation failure does not seem related.

@electrum Would you mind to take a look?

@electrum, @dain Ping, it blocks: prestodb/presto#11443

I only skimmed the high level, and it looks good to me. But, I think the needs more eyes due to the difficult in changing this in the future. Specifically, I think @electrum and @martint should read this over.

bytes :)

Maybe rename this to count?

Do we want to use a lowercase k here?

They mention both ways. Changed.

Why is so? I think it will be difficult to change if we get a vast usage. I hope that along the way the usage is growing we will fix all the issues.

I'm ok with having something like this in airlift, but please let's not call it a "count unit". There's no unit involved here (e.g., kilogram, meters, dollars, etc). What we're talking about is a scaled count, or a count with scale.

martint · 2019-02-05T03:34:57Z

src/main/java/io/airlift/units/Count.java

+        return Double.hashCode(value);
+    }
+
+    public enum Unit


This is not a unit. It's a scale or magnitude.

kokosing · 2019-02-05T10:35:35Z

but please let's not call it a "count unit"

To me it is some kind of "unit" as it describes certain physical property. Anyway, I liked Magnitude much better, thanks for pointing this.

kokosing · 2019-02-05T10:35:47Z

Addressed comments.

electrum

Some initial comments.

I'm also not sure the parsing and formatting semantics are right. If we don't have fractions, then six digits are required to accurately represent anything. For example, 123456 cannot be converted to K without using fractions or losing precision. But we could have 123.456K without losing accuracy (since we are doing base 10 magnitudes).

+    }
+
+    /**
+     * @return count with no bigger value than 1000 in succinct magnitude, fractional part is rounded


How is there a fractional part when value is a long?

When you pass 123456 in SINGLE then you will get 123.456K that will be rounded to 123K.

+
+    public Count(long count, Magnitude magnitude)

Both these checks are not needed for long

How about

// must be in increasing magnitude order

Typo magnitutdeString (also in constructor argument, message below, and getter)

Move this check to getValue (or remove it since the caller will get an NPE anyway)

Make this final (DataSize should have been final as well)

This double comparison is wrong. However, using getValue() won't work, since it can fail on overflow. Maybe we should have a toBigInteger() method and use that here.

+        }
+
+        return format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%.2f%s", value, magnitude.getMagnitutdeString());


This formatting seems wrong for long.

kokosing · 2019-02-26T10:08:58Z

For example, 123456 cannot be converted to K without using fractions or losing precision.

Any conversion that loses a precision throws an exception, unless it is says it rounds like succinctRounded.

But we could have 123.456K without losing accuracy (since we are doing base 10 magnitudes).

Do you mean to always store value raw value (in magnitude SINGLE) and convert (format) it only when displaying.

This is not consistent with using B for Billion. How about Q?

Suggested change

QUADRILLION(1000_000_000_000_000L, "P");

QUADRILLION(1000_000_000_000_000L, "Q");
