// DistributionSampler allows generating a discrete random variable with a given
// distribution.
// The values taken by the variable are [0, N) and relative weights for each
// value are specified using a vector of size N.
//
// The Algorithm takes O(N) time to precompute data at construction time and
// takes O(1) time (2 random number generation, 2 lookups) for each sample.
// The data structure takes O(N) memory.
//
// In contrast, util/random/weighted-picker.h provides O(lg N) sampling.
// The advantage of that implementation is that weights can be adjusted
// dynamically, while DistributionSampler doesn't allow weight adjustment.
//
// The algorithm used is Walker's Aliasing algorithm, described in Knuth, Vol 2.
