public class WeightedResponseTimeRule
extends RoundRobinRule

Rule that use the average/percentile response times to assign dynamic "weights" per Server which is then used in the "Weighted Round Robin" fashion.

The basic idea for weighted round robin has been obtained from JCS The implementation for choosing the endpoint from the list of endpoints is as follows:Let's assume 4 endpoints:A(wt=10), B(wt=30), C(wt=40), D(wt=20).

Using the Random API, generate a random number between 1 and10+30+40+20. Let's assume that the above list is randomized. Based on the weights, we have intervals as follows:

1-----10 (A's weight)
11----40 (A's weight + B's weight)
41----80 (A's weight + B's weight + C's weight)
81----100(A's weight + B's weight + C's weight + C's weight)

Here's the psuedo code for deciding where to send the request:

if (random_number between 1 & 10) {send request to A;}
else if (random_number between 11 & 40) {send request to B;}
else if (random_number between 41 & 80) {send request to C;}
else if (random_number between 81 & 100) {send request to D;}

When there is not enough statistics gathered for the servers, this rule will fall back to use RoundRobinRule.
