Why multiply SubscriptionBackoffMax by `4/3`? IMO this should be `3/4`. If we multiply SubscriptionBackoffMax by something > 1 then Mesos could mark tasks as GONE because they do not reconnect in given period.


elec does not automatically appear in the data structure, it is the user who puts it there. I don't see (in general) why it should be there. In some cases it makes sense (when doing source reconstruction), but the purpose of data.elec is not to keep track of the processing that is done on the time series.

Please open a bug on bugzilla that demonstrates a clear case why smart elec merging is needed.
