Subject: strgrp: Use angular similarity for distance metric properties
X-Git-Url: https://git.ozlabs.org/?p=ccan;a=commitdiff_plain;h=911a66a7893ca7c8b225a1b5fd5ec55569b12632

strgrp: Use angular similarity for distance metric properties

Distance metrics allow us to compare similarity results, however
applying the change leads to test suite breakage as we no longer satisfy
the requirement that each filter's score is at most as large as that of
the previous filter^. As such, also stop ccanlint from executing the
tests that are known to fail until we work around the problem.

^ This is a problem that has existed since the introduction of the
cosine similarity filter, it just wasn't detected by the test suite.
