> _*issue-1:*_
> if liveEndpoints.size()=unreachableEndpoints.size()=0; probability will be
> {*}_Infinity_{*}.
> randDbl <= probability will always be true, then sendGossip
> _*issue-2:*_
> comparing two double is safe by using *<* or {*}>{*}. However missing
> accuracy will happen if we compare the equality of two double by
> intuition({*}={*}). For example:
> {code:java}
> double probability = 0.1;
> double randDbl = 0.10000000000000001; // Slightly greater than probability
> if (randDbl <= probability)
> {
> System.out.println("randDbl <= probability(always here)");
> }
> else
> {
> System.out.println("randDbl > probability");
> }
> {code}
> A good example from: _*Gossiper#maybeGossipToUnreachableMember*_
> {code:java}
> if (randDbl < prob)
> {
> sendGossip(message, Sets.filter(unreachableEndpoints.keySet(),
> ep ->
> !isDeadState(getEndpointStateMap().get(ep))));
> }{code}
