Redis - HyperLogLog
Redis - HyperLogLog
Redis HyperLogLog is an algorithm that uses randomization in order to provide an approximation of the number of unique elements in a set using just a constant, and small amount of memory.
HyperLogLog provides a very good approximation of the cardinapty of a set even using a very small amount of memory around 12 kbytes per key with a standard error of 0.81%. There is no pmit to the number of items you can count, unless you approach 264 items.
Example
Following example explains how Redis HyperLogLog works.
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PFADD tutorials "redis" 1) (integer) 1 redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PFADD tutorials "mongodb" 1) (integer) 1 redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PFADD tutorials "mysql" 1) (integer) 1 redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PFCOUNT tutorials (integer) 3
