sequence.sample(number) → selection
stream.sample(number) → array
array.sample(number) → array
Select a given number of elements from a sequence with uniform random distribution. Selection is done without replacement.
If the sequence has less than the requested number of elements (i.e., calling sample(10) on a sequence with only five elements), sample will return the entire sequence in a random order.
Example: Select 3 random heroes.
r.table('marvel').sample(3).run(conn)
Example: Select and stratify 3 random heroes by belovedness.
r.table('marvel').group('belovedness').sample(3).run(conn)
