• HyperLogLog in Pure SQL

  The HyperLogLog Probabilistic Counter is an algorithm for determining the approximate number of distinct elements in a set using minimal RAM. Distincting a set that has 10 million unique 100-character strings can take over gigabyte of RAM using a hash table, while HyperLogLog uses less than a megabyte (the "log log" in HyperLogLog refers to its space efficiency). Since the probabilistic counter can stay entirely in RAM during the process, it's much faster than any alternative that has to write to disk and usually faster than alternatives using a lot more RAM.
