Topic: HyperLogLog
Motivation
Cardinality Counting
LinearCounting
Hash + expectation of collision based on how full
Bloom Filter
LogLog
Use first N bits as bucket
Use max sequential 0s in each bucket
Average
HyperLogLog
Handle empty buckets
Use correction factor like linear counting for low counts (number of empty buckets) and high counts
Distributing
Transfer bucket counts
