Gabor Gevay created FLINK-2147: ---------------------------------- Summary: Approximate calculation of frequencies in data streams Key: FLINK-2147 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2147 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Gabor Gevay Priority: Minor
Count-Min sketch is a hashing-based algorithm for approximately keeping track of the frequencies of elements in a data stream. It is described by Cormode et al. in the following paper: http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/~graham/pubs/papers/cmsoft.pdf Note that this algorithm can be conveniently implemented in a distributed way, as described in section 3.2 of the paper. The paper http://www.vldb.org/conf/2002/S10P03.pdf also describes algorithms for approximately keeping track of frequencies, but here the user can specify a threshold below which she is not interested in the frequency of an element. The error-bounds are also different than the Count-min sketch algorithm. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
