Yeah, I don't think it does. If by some chance we only got an incomplete info from such an interval, it doesn't matter whether choose_acting skips it or not when determining the most recent active interval since it couldn't have changed last_epoch_started or history.last_epoch_started. I think I can just kill that section. -Sam On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 3:41 PM, Samuel Just <sjust@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Currently trying to figure out whether > c7d92d1d3fe469f5e8e7c35185a670570c665029 matters (any interval where > acting contains an incomplete peer is could not have gone active, > right?) > -Sam > > On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 3:40 PM, Samuel Just <sjust@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm going. >> -Sam >> >> On Fri, Dec 9, 2016 at 3:24 PM, Sage Weil <sweil@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> On Fri, 9 Dec 2016, Samuel Just wrote: >>>> Currently, never.
