Split users

Server NGINX
1

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,

I got to learn the “A/B split” term a couple of hours ago :slight_smile:
I do not think that it will be good name.

Maybe something like “map_split”? I believe it’s really similar
to map module, and the only difference is mapping algorithm.

“split” is too good name for this. I reserve it for something else.

I still considering two initial varaints: user_split or users_split.
Does “users_split” sound good or not for English ear ?

I believe “client_split” would be better english rather than
“user_split”; when seeing “user” one would think of a system user,
whereas “client” is preferrable as something which connects to a system
(in this case a webserver).

“split_clients” would be even better - this dictates the block’s
intention rather than what it “is”, which would to mind easier when
writing the block. Other things could be “split_” also, in future
modules: “split_backends” for example.

Thank you. I will use split_clients.
