Some options take a 'distribution' as an argument.
Distributions are specified by <distribution>[:<param1>[,...]].
Parameters are not required.  The following distributions are supported:

   [fixed:]<value>              Always generates <value>.
   uniform:<max>                Uniform distribution between 0 and <max>.
   normal:<mean>,<sd>           Normal distribution.
   exponential:<lambda>         Exponential distribution.
   pareto:<loc>,<scale>,<shape> Generalized Pareto distribution.
   gev:<loc>,<scale>,<shape>    Generalized Extreme Value distribution.

   To recreate the Facebook \"ETC\" request stream from [1], the
   following hard-coded distributions are also provided:

   fb_value   = a hard-coded discrete and GPareto PDF of value sizes
   fb_key     = \"gev:30.7984,8.20449,0.078688\", key-size distribution
   fb_ia      = \"pareto:0.0,16.0292,0.154971\", inter-arrival time dist.
