Topic: HyperLogLog
- Motivation
- 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
