Log Context
Log “[{}] Quantiles not supplied in time order – {} after {}” classname is ShortCircuitingRenormalizer.java.
We extracted the following from Elasticsearch source code for those seeking an in-depth context :
long latestTimeMs = quantiles.getTimestamp().getTime();
// If we're going to skip quantiles; renormalize using the latest quantiles
// over the time ranges implied by all quantiles that were provided.
long windowExtensionMs = latestTimeMs - earliestTimeMs;
if (windowExtensionMs
