  • Make it normative that an SDK is recommended to include both types of default reservoirs.
  • Make the description of both default reservoirs their own sub-sections.
  • Correct the "SimpleExemplarReservoir" section to be titled "SimpleFixedSizeExemplarReservoir".
  • Loosen the SimpleFixedSizeExemplarReservoir to allow any uniformly-weighted sampling algorithm instead of just the naive one that is not optimal.
    • The current algorithm has an asymptotic running time of O(n). There are other sampling algorithms that produce equivalent results and have more optimal asymptotic running times. Therefore, do not restrict implementations to only implementing the inefficient algorithm.

default reservoirs.

Correct the "SimpleExemplarReservoir" section to be titled
"SimpleFixedSizeExemplarReservoir".

Loosen the SimpleFixedSizeExemplarReservoir to allow any
uniformly-weighted sampling algorithm instead of just the naive one that
is not optimal.

- Make it normative that an SDK is recommended to include both types of
default reservoirs.
- Make the description of both default reservoirs their own
sub-sections.
- Correct the "SimpleExemplarReservoir" section to be titled
"SimpleFixedSizeExemplarReservoir".
- Loosen the SimpleFixedSizeExemplarReservoir to allow any
uniformly-weighted sampling algorithm instead of just the naive one that
is not optimal.
- The current algorithm has an asymptotic running time of `O(n)`. There
are other sampling algorithms that produce equivalent results and have
more optimal asymptotic running times. Therefore, do not restrict
implementations to only implementing the inefficient algorithm.
