Calculate the probability of losing all replicas of a partition in a cluster
# Parameters:
prob_nodefail = 0.001 # Probability of a single node failing
replication_factor = 3 # Number of copies of each partition (r)
partitions_per_node = 256 # Number of partitions per node
max_nodes = 10000 # Maximum number of nodes to consider
# (n - r)! / n! == r! / (n choose r)
# Intuitively: the fraction of the n! possible permutations of n nodes that
# results in the replicas of one particular partition to be mapped to three
# particular nodes, in a particular order.
partition_fract = 1.0
# Consider all possible cluster sizes n up to max_nodes
(replication_factor .. max_nodes).each do |nodes|
# The probability that at least one partition is lost at this cluster size
# (added up cumulatively in the inner loop)
prob_dataloss = 0.0
# f! * (n - r)! / ((f - r)! * n!) == (f choose r) / (n choose r)
# Intuitively: the probability that all replicas of one particular partition
# are lost, given that f nodes are faulty.
prob_partitionloss = partition_fract
# Binomial coefficient (n choose f): the number of different ways of choosing
# f faults among n nodes (uses arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic)
binomial_coeff = 1
# Consider all the possible numbers of faulty nodes f (from 1 to all nodes)
(1 .. nodes).each do |faults|
# n choose f
binomial_coeff = binomial_coeff * (nodes - faults + 1) / faults
# Use binomial distribution to calculate probability of having exactly this
# number of faults. Calculate in logs, because otherwise the binomial
# coefficient overflows the double-precision floating point type.
prob_faults = Math.exp(Math.log(binomial_coeff) +
faults * Math.log(prob_nodefail) +
(nodes - faults) * Math.log(1 - prob_nodefail))
if faults >= replication_factor
# p(0 partitions lost | f faults) =
# p(one particular partition not lost | f faults) ^ num_partitions
prob_none_lost = (1.0 - prob_partitionloss) ** (nodes * partitions_per_node)
# p(>= 1 partition lost AND f faults) =
# p(f faults) * (1 - p(0 partitions lost | f faults))
prob_dataloss += prob_faults * (1.0 - prob_none_lost)
# f! * (n - r)! / ((f - r)! * n!)
prob_partitionloss *= (faults + 1.0) / (faults - replication_factor + 1.0)
end
end
# Output probability that >= 1 partition is lost when you have n nodes
puts "#{nodes},#{prob_dataloss}"
# (n - r)! / n!
partition_fract *= (nodes - replication_factor + 1.0) / (nodes + 1.0)

would u pl tell where did u implement this code, I mean which editor or simulator.
