// Construct an Epsilon Greedy HostPool

// Epsilon Greedy is an algorithm that allows HostPool not only to track failure state,
// but also to learn about "better" options in terms of speed, and to pick from available hosts
// based on how well they perform. This gives a weighted request rate to better
// performing hosts, while still distributing requests to all hosts (proportionate to their performance).
// The interface is the same as the standard HostPool, but be sure to mark the HostResponse immediately
// after executing the request to the host, as that will stop the implicitly running request timer.
//
// A good overview of Epsilon Greedy is here http://stevehanov.ca/blog/index.php?id=132
//
// To compute the weighting scores, we perform a weighted average of recent response times, over the course of
// `decayDuration`. decayDuration may be set to 0 to use the default value of 5 minutes
// We then use the supplied EpsilonValueCalculator to calculate a score from that weighted average response time.
