> When creating the initial merkle tree, repair tries to be (too) smart and use
> the key samples to "guide" the tree splitting. While this is a good idea for
> OPP where there is a good change the data distribution is uneven, you can't
> beat an even distribution for the RandomPartitionner. And a quick experiment
> even shows that the method used is significantly less efficient than an even
> distribution for the ranges of the merkle tree (that is, an even distribution
> gives a much better of distribution of the number of keys by range of the
> tree).
> Thus let's switch to an even distribution for RandomPartitionner. That 3
> lines change alone amounts for a significant improvement of repair's
> precision.
