Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HADOOP-4437:
-------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed
        Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)

Tested manually with a 100-nodes cluster.  The biggest sample set I have run 
was 

- 1000 maps and 10000000 samples per map.
Job Finished in 67.337 seconds
Estimated value of PI is 3.14159264520000000000

I just committed this.

> Use qMC sequence to improve the accuracy of PiEstimator

> Currently, PiEstimator uses java.util.Random to generate random 2d-points for 
> estimating pi. The numbers generated by java.util.Random are uniformly 
> distributed.  The 2d-points generated tense to have clump and gap. So the 
> accuracy of the estimated pi is low.  The accuracy can be improved by using a 
> quasi-Monte Carlo (qMC) sequence.
