--mash-distance outputs similarity with --set option

[dejsha]

Hi, with version 2.1.9 binaries, I keep getting similarity matrix instead of distance matrix when using:
./dashing2_s128 sketch --cmpout distance.txt -F paths.txt -p16 -k31 --set --mash-distance
I.e. the distance.txt output is identical (with ones at diagonal) as for similariry.txt produced with:
./dashing2_s128 sketch --cmpout similariry.txt -F paths.txt -p16 -k31 --set
If I do weighted distance:
./dashing2_s128 sketch --cmpout distance.txt -F paths.txt -p16 -k31 --prob --mash-distance
It seems works correctly - I recieve distance matrix (which has -0 at diagonal).
How could I get mash distance with --set?
Thank you very much, dasa

Hi dejsha,

Thanks for your bug report! You're right - Dashing2 is ignoring the distance metric for the --set option. This is also the case for weighted Jaccard (--countdict).

I'll get this patched up and let you know.

Best,

Daniel

Hi,

I've found and corrected the bug. I've merged it into main, and I'll let you know when the new binary releases are available.

Thanks,

Daniel
