// FieldTrial is a class for handling details of statistical experiments
// performed by actual users in the field (i.e., in a shipped or beta product).
// All code is called exclusively on the UI thread currently.
//
// The simplest example is an experiment to see whether one of two options
// produces "better" results across our user population.  In that scenario, UMA
// data is uploaded to aggregate the test results, and this FieldTrial class
// manages the state of each such experiment (state == which option was
// pseudo-randomly selected).
//
// States are typically generated randomly, either based on a one time
// randomization (which will yield the same results, in terms of selecting
// the client for a field trial or not, for every run of the program on a
// given machine), or by a startup randomization (generated each time the
// application starts up, but held constant during the duration of the
// process), or by continuous randomization across a run (where the state
// can be recalculated again and again, many times during a process).
// Continuous randomization is not yet implemented.

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Example:  Suppose we have an experiment involving memory, such as determining
// the impact of some pruning algorithm.
// We assume that we already have a histogram of memory usage, such as:

//   HISTOGRAM_COUNTS("Memory.RendererTotal", count);

// Somewhere in main thread initialization code, we'd probably define an
// instance of a FieldTrial, with code such as:

// // FieldTrials are reference counted, and persist automagically until
// // process teardown, courtesy of their automatic registration in
// // FieldTrialList.
// // Note: This field trial will run in Chrome instances compiled through
// //       8 July, 2015, and after that all instances will be in "StandardMem".
// scoped_refptr<base::FieldTrial> trial(
//     base::FieldTrialList::FactoryGetFieldTrial("MemoryExperiment", 1000,
//                                                "StandardMem", 2015, 7, 8,
//                                                NULL));
// const int high_mem_group =
//     trial->AppendGroup("HighMem", 20);  // 2% in HighMem group.
// const int low_mem_group =
//     trial->AppendGroup("LowMem", 20);   // 2% in LowMem group.
// // Take action depending of which group we randomly land in.
// if (trial->group() == high_mem_group)
//   SetPruningAlgorithm(kType1);  // Sample setting of browser state.
// else if (trial->group() == low_mem_group)
//   SetPruningAlgorithm(kType2);  // Sample alternate setting.

// We then, in addition to our original histogram, output histograms which have
// slightly different names depending on what group the trial instance happened
// to randomly be assigned:

// HISTOGRAM_COUNTS("Memory.RendererTotal", count);  // The original histogram.
// static const bool memory_renderer_total_trial_exists =
//     FieldTrialList::TrialExists("MemoryExperiment");
// if (memory_renderer_total_trial_exists) {
//   HISTOGRAM_COUNTS(FieldTrial::MakeName("Memory.RendererTotal",
//                                         "MemoryExperiment"), count);
// }

// The above code will create four distinct histograms, with each run of the
// application being assigned to of of the three groups, and for each group, the
// correspondingly named histogram will be populated:

// Memory.RendererTotal              // 100% of users still fill this histogram.
// Memory.RendererTotal_HighMem      // 2% of users will fill this histogram.
// Memory.RendererTotal_LowMem       // 2% of users will fill this histogram.
// Memory.RendererTotal_StandardMem  // 96% of users will fill this histogram.
