Hi All,
I have been playing with the new sampler and i am running into an issue with the collector. In particular, I am using a sample from the census microdata portal which I have flattened. When I go to get 100 samples of 10 items with replacement I am ending up with one sample with 1000 items. Not sure if it is a bug or I am doing something wrong.
Hi Travis,
Definitely a bug! Almost certainly it came about near the end of this round of development when we introduced some optimization to make the Sampler run faster in “Fastest” mode.
We’ll get on it as quickly as we can.
Thanks for the report.
Bill
Hi Travis,
We’ve discovered that the source of the problem is that the microdata dataset has an attribute named “sample” and the Sampler creates its own attribute with the same name. It then gets confused when collecting samples. A workaround is for you to rename the microdata attribute to something else, like “microdata sample.” Then the Sampler will do the right thing.
Meanwhile we’re fixing the Sampler to detect the name collision and use an alternate name for the attribute it creates.
