Nirmal Fernando commented on STRATOS-939:
-----------------------------------------
(5-1)/2 = 5/2 - 1/2 is the Math I know :-)
It's a time difference, so the value still matters, if it's division of same
units, then it can be neglected.
This is not per second value.
So, what I've done here is to put a reasonable constraint on the events saying,
two events should be at least 1s apart from each other before doing gradient
(per second) calculation.
And this is the tangent value we're talking about and tangent can span from 0
to (+/-)infinity.
> CEP sends very large values for gradient and second derivative of load average

> How we calculate gradient of two events?
> Say the events are; e1(t1,v1) and e2(t2,v2)
> tx - time in milliseconds when xth event occurred
> vx - value (memory, cpu etc.) that xth event carries
> time gap = t(2-1) = t2 -t1 milliseconds
> time gap in seconds = t(2-1) = (t2 - t1)/1000 seconds
> Hence,
> Gradient = (v2 - v1) / t(2-1) = ( (v2 - v1) * 1000 ) / (t2 - t1)

> ===================================================================
> So, as you can see the reason behind a large value is when the time gap
> between two subjected events is less than 1 second. This could happen since
> events are coming from different asynchronous agents and also when there are
> less number of events.
> FIX
> ====
> So, the fix I propose is a very simple one and it will not compromise
> anything AFAIS.
> Fix is to calculate time gap as follows;
>
>
> time gap = t(2-1) } t2 -t1 > 1000 -----> t2 - t1
> t2 - t1 <= 1000 ----> 1000
> I have tested this and works fine.
