Class SampleMethod (3.11.1)

SampleMethod(value)

How to sample bytes if not all bytes are scanned. Meaningful only when used in conjunction with bytes_limit_per_file. If not specified, scanning would start from the top.

Values: SAMPLE_METHOD_UNSPECIFIED (0):

TOP (1):
    Scan from the top (default).
RANDOM_START (2):
    For each file larger than bytes_limit_per_file, randomly
    pick the offset to start scanning. The scanned bytes are
    contiguous.
