# Bucket class represent data structure build with HyperLogLog algorithm
|
|
# that models data distribution in analysed set. This representation than can be used
|
|
# for following purposes
|
|
# 1. Estimating number of unique elements that this structure represents
|
|
# 2. Merging with other Buckets structure to later estimate number of unique elements in sum of two
|
|
# represented data sets
|
|
# 3. Serializing Buckets structure to json format, that can be stored in various persistence layers
|
|
#
|
|
# @example Usage
|
|
# ::Gitlab::Database::PostgresHll::Buckets.new(141 => 1, 56 => 1).estimated_distinct_count
|
|
# ::Gitlab::Database::PostgresHll::Buckets.new(141 => 1, 56 => 1).merge_hash!(141 => 1, 56 => 5).estimated_distinct_count
|
|
# ::Gitlab::Database::PostgresHll::Buckets.new(141 => 1, 56 => 1).to_json

# @note HyperLogLog is an PROBABILISTIC algorithm that ESTIMATES distinct count of given attribute value for supplied relation
|
|
# Like all probabilistic algorithm is has ERROR RATE margin, that can affect values,
|
|
# for given implementation no higher value was reported (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/45673#accuracy-estimation) than 5.3%
|
|
# for the most of a cases this value is lower. However, if the exact value is necessary other tools has to be used.
