[mod_cluster-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (MODCLUSTER-607) Support floating-point numerals for decay factor

Support floating-point numerals for decay factor ------------------------------------------------ Key: MODCLUSTER-607 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/MODCLUSTER-607 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core & Container Integration (Java) Affects Versions: 1.2.13.Final, 1.3.7.Final Reporter: Leandro Quiroga Assignee: Radoslav Husar Priority: Critical Labels: decay Fix For: 1.4.0.Alpha1, 2.0.0.Alpha1 The int type is too restrictive for specifying the decay factor. Using a decay factor of 1 means no decay. Next value is 2, and the importance of loads decreases too fast: ||Instant||Importance|| |0|100%| |1|50%| |2|25%| |3|12.5%| |4|6.3%| |5|3.1%| |6|1.6%| |7|0.8%| |8|0.4%| |9|0.2%| Next value is 3, and the importance of loads decreases even faster: ||Instant||Importance|| |0|100%| |1|33%| |2|11%| |3|3.7%| |4|1.2%| |5|0.4%| |6|0.1%| |7|0.0%| |8|0.0%| |9|0.0%| Using a double for decay factor isn't complex and allows much more precision.
