feat(MLRsearch): MLRsearch v7
Replaces MLRv2, suitable for "big bang" upgrade across CSIT. PyPI metadata updated only partially (full edits will come separately). Pylint wants less complexity, but the differences are only minor. + Use the same (new CSIT) defaults everywhere, also in Python library. + Update also PLRsearch to use the new result class. + Make upper bound optional in UTI. + Fix ASTF approximate duration detection. + Do not keep approximated_receive_rate (for MRR) in result structure.

Usage
-----
-TODO.
+High level description
+______________________
+
+A complete application capable of testing performance using MLRsearch
+consists of three layers: Manager, Controller and Measurer.
+This library provides an implementation for the Controller only,
+including all the classes needed to define API between Controller
+and other two components.
+
+Users are supposed to implement the whole Manager layer,
+and also implement the Measurer layer.
+The Measurer instance is injected as a parameter
+when the manager calls the controller instance.
+
+The purpose of Measurer instance is to perform one trial measurement.
+Upon invocation of measure() method, the controller only specifies
+the intended duration and the intended load for the trial.
+The call is done using keyword arguments, so the signature has to be:
+
+.. code-block:: python3
+
+ def measure(self, intended_duration, intended_load):
+
+Usually, the trial measurement process also needs other values,
+collectively caller a traffic profile. User (the manager instance)
+is responsible for initiating the measurer instance accordingly.
+Also, the manager is supposed to set up SUT, traffic generator,
+and any other component that can affect the result.
+
+For specific input and output objects see the example below.
+
+Example
+_______
+
+This is a minimal example showing every configuration attribute.
+The measurer does not interact with any real SUT,
+it simulates a SUT that is able to forward exactly one million packets
+per second (unidirectional traffic only),
+not one packet more (fully deterministic).
+In these conditions, the conditional throughput for PDR
+happens to be accurate within one packet per second.
+
+This is the screen capture of interactive python interpreter
+(wrapped so long lines are readable):
+
+.. code-block:: python3
+
+ >>> import dataclasses
+ >>> from MLRsearch import (
+ ... AbstractMeasurer, Config, MeasurementResult,

+ ... return MeasurementResult(

+ ... intended_load=intended_load,
+ ... offered_count=sent,

- One improvement is searching for multiple intervals at once.
- The intervals differ by the target loss ratio. Lower bound
- has to have equal or smaller loss ratio, upper bound has to have larger.
-
- Next improvement is that the initial interval does not need to be valid.
- Imagine initial interval (10, 11) where loss at 11 is smaller
- than the searched ratio.
- The algorithm will try (11, 13) interval next, and if 13 is still smaller,
- (13, 17) and so on, doubling width until the upper bound is valid.
- The part when interval expands is called external search,
- the part when interval is bisected is called internal search.
-
- Next improvement is that trial measurements at small trial duration
- can be used to find a reasonable interval for full trial duration search.
- This results in more trials performed, but smaller overall duration
- in general.
-
- Next improvement is bisecting in logarithmic quantities,
- so that exit criteria can be independent of measurement units.
-
- Next improvement is basing the initial interval on receive rates.
-
- Final improvement is exiting early if the minimal value
- is not a valid lower bound.
-
- The complete search consist of several phases,
- each phase performing several trial measurements.
- Initial phase creates initial interval based on receive rates
- at maximum rate and at maximum receive rate (MRR).
- Final phase and preceding intermediate phases are performing
- external and internal search steps,
- each resulting interval is the starting point for the next phase.
- The resulting intervals of final phase is the result of the whole algorithm.
-
- Each non-initial phase uses its own trial duration.
- Any non-initial phase stops searching (for all ratios independently)
- when minimum is not a valid lower bound (at current duration),
- or all of the following is true:
- Both bounds are valid, bounds are measured at the current phase
- trial duration, interval width is less than the width goal
- for current phase.

+"""Module defining DataclassProperty class.
+
+The main issue that needs support is dataclasses with properties
+(including setters) and with (immutable) default values.
+
+First, this explains how property ends up passed as default constructor value:
+https://florimond.dev/en/posts/2018/10/
+/reconciling-dataclasses-and-properties-in-python/
+TL;DR: By the time __init__ is generated, original class variable (type hint)
+is replaced by property (method definition).
+
+Second, there are ways to deal with that:
+https://stackoverflow.com/a/61480946
+TL;DR: It relies on the underscored field being replaced by the value.
+
+But that does not work for field which use default_factory (or no default)
+(the underscored class field is deleted instead).
+So another way is needed to cover those cases,
+ideally without the need to define both original and underscored field.
+
+This implementation relies on a fact that decorators are executed
+when the class fields do yet exist, and decorated function
+does know its name, so the decorator can get the value stored in
+the class field, and store it as an additional attribute of the getter function.
+Then for setter, the property contains the getter (as an unbound function),
+so it can access the additional attribute to get the value.
+
+This approach circumvents the precautions dataclasses take to prevent mishaps
+when a single mutable object is shared between multiple instances.
+So it is up to setters to create an appropriate copy of the default object
+if the default value is mutable.
+
+The default value cannot be MISSING nor Field nor DataclassProperty,
+otherwise the intended logic breaks.

+ """Optimized binary search algorithm for finding conditional throughputs.
+
+ Traditional binary search algorithm needs initial interval
+ (lower and upper bound), and returns final narrow bounds
+ (related to its search goal) after bisecting
+ (until some exit condition is met).
+ The exit condition is usually related to the interval width,
+ (upper bound value minus lower bound value).
+
+ The optimized algorithm in this class contains several improvements
+ aimed to reduce overall search time.
+
+ One improvement is searching for bounds for multiple search goals at once.
+ Specifically, the trial measurement results influence bounds for all goals,
+ even though the selection of trial inputs for next measurement
+ focuses only on one goal. The focus can switch between goals frequently.
+
+ Next improvement is that results of trial measurements
+ with small trial duration can be used to find a reasonable starting interval
+ for full trial duration search.
+ This results in more trials performed, but smaller overall duration
+ in general.
+ Internally, such shorter trials come from "preceding targets",
+ handled in a same way as a search goal "final target".
+ Related improvement is that the "current" interval does not need to be valid
+ (e.g. one of the bounds is missing).
+ In that case, this algorithm will move and expand the interval,
+ in a process called external search. Only when both bounds are found,
+ the interval bisection (called internal search) starts making it narrow.
+
+ Next improvement is bisecting in logarithmic quantities,
+ so that target relative width is independent of measurement units.
+
+ Next improvement is basing the initial interval on forwarding rates
+ of few initial measurements, starting at max load and using forwarding rates
+ seen so far.
+
+ Next improvement is to allow the use of multiple shorter trials
+ instead one big trial, allowing a percentage of trials
+ to exceed the loss ratio target.
+ This makes the result more stable in practice.
+ Conservative behavior (single long trial, zero exceed ratio)
+ is still available using corresponding goal definitions.
+
+ Final improvement is exiting early if the minimal load
+ is not a valid lower bound (at final duration)
+ and also exiting if the overall search duration is too long.
+
+ There are also subtle optimizations related to candidate selection
+ and uneven splitting of intervals, too numerous to list here.
