Scott Taylor created SPARK-8541:
-----------------------------------
Summary: sumApprox and meanApprox doctests are incorrect
Key: SPARK-8541
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-8541
Project: Spark
Issue Type: Test
Components: PySpark
Affects Versions: 1.4.0, 1.3.1
Reporter: Scott Taylor
Priority: Minor
The doctests for sumApprox and meanApprox methods test against an upper bound
but not a lower bound. If there was a regression in the underlying code that
caused things to go wrong the doctest may not fail. For example if sumApprox
returned 0 the doctest would return -1 which is less than 0.05. Solution is to
use the abs() function to test that the approximate answer is within 5% of the
exact answer.
