public enum FederatedClientSelectionStrategy

Fields

AvailabilityAware = 3

Clustered = 5

Cluster clients (e.g., by embeddings) and sample across clusters.

PerformanceAware = 4

Prefer clients with better observed performance, with exploration.

Stratified = 2

Stratified sampling based on group keys.
