Hi,
I'm developing a module for A/B split testing.
The splitting is defined as:
users_split "${remote_addr}AAA" $variant {
0.5% one;
2.0% two;
- "";
}
The question is: what is the better English name:
users_split
user_split
clients_split
client_split
or something else ?

Hello Igor, > The question is: what is the better English name: > users_split > user_split > clients_split > client_split > or something else ? I would go with "split_clients", but "clients_split" seems acceptable if you want to keep it within "clients_" namespace. Best regards, Piotr Sikora < piotr.sikora@frickle.com >

Maybe something like "map_split"? I believe it's really similar to map module, and the only difference is mapping algorithm. Maxim Dounin
