Frank Rosner commented on SPARK-6480:
-------------------------------------
[~srowen] will do today!
> histogram() bucket function is wrong in some simple edge cases
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-6480
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6480
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Spark Core
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Sean Owen
> Assignee: Sean Owen
>
> (Credit to a customer report here) This test would fail now:
> {code}
> val rdd = sc.parallelize(Seq(1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3))
> assert(Array(3, 1, 2) === rdd.map(_.toDouble).histogram(3)._2)
> {code}
> Because it returns 3, 1, 0. The problem ultimately traces to the 'fast'
> bucket function that judges buckets based on a multiple of the gap between
> first and second elements. Errors multiply and the end of the final bucket
> fails to include the max.
> Fairly plausible use case actually.
> This can be tightened up easily with a slightly better expression. It will
> also fix this test, which is actually expecting the wrong answer:
> {code}
> val rdd = sc.parallelize(6 to 99)
> val (histogramBuckets, histogramResults) = rdd.histogram(9)
> val expectedHistogramResults =
> Array(11, 10, 11, 10, 10, 11, 10, 10, 11)
> {code}
> (Should be {{Array(11, 10, 10, 11, 10, 10, 11, 10, 11)}})
