org.pentaho.aggdes.algorithm.impl.MonteCarloAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

Algorithm, Component

public class MonteCarloAlgorithm
extends AlgorithmImpl

Implementation of Algorithm that measures the effectiveness of a set of Aggregate objects by generating a set of representative sample queries.

Using a random set of queries is much cheaper than generating the whole set, as done by ExhaustiveLatticeAlgorithm, but is not much less accurate.

Method Details

run

public Result run(Schema schema,
 Map<Parameter,Object> parameterValues,
 Progress progress)

Description copied from interface: Algorithm

Runs the optimization algorithm to produces a set of recommended aggregate tables.

The allowable parameters are specified by the Component.getParameters() method.

Returns null if another thread called Algorithm.cancel() and there is no useful result.

Parameters:

schema - Schema

parameterValues - Parameter values

progress - Progress callback

Returns:

Set of recommended aggregate tables, or null if another thread called Algorithm.cancel() and there is no useful result

computeAggregateCosts

public List<Algorithm.CostBenefit> computeAggregateCosts(Schema schema,
 Map<Parameter,Object> parameterValues,
 List<Aggregate> aggregateList)

Description copied from interface: Algorithm

Computes cost/benefit metrics for a list of Aggregates.

The aggregates must have been created using the Algorithm.createAggregate(Schema, List) method.

The order of the list is important: the benefit of the i^th aggregate is its benefit over the previous aggregates 0, ... i - 1.

This method is not thread safe; you must not call it while calling another method on this Algorithm object. The Algorithm object may or may not have been previously used to generate a set of aggregates (see Algorithm.run(org.pentaho.aggdes.model.Schema, java.util.Map<org.pentaho.aggdes.model.Parameter, java.lang.Object>, org.pentaho.aggdes.algorithm.Progress)).

Parameters:

schema - Schema

parameterValues - Parameter values

aggregateList - List of aggregates

Returns:

list of cost/benefit for each aggregate in the list
