Random

Random is not really a load-balancing algorithm, and should be used only for testing! It takes each object and randomly assigns it to a new part. Via a parameter, one can alternatively choose to randomly perturb only a fraction of the objects. The random method does not use weights and does not attempt to achieve load balance.

Parameters:
    RANDOM_MOVE_FRACTION The fraction of objects to randomly move.
1.0 = move all; 0.0 = move nothing

RANDOM_MOVE_FRACTION = 1.0
