Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1072:
-----------------------------------
I ended up refactoring and reformatting this quite a bit, it's in
topic/robin/hyperlolog-merge. However, I broke something, the tests aren't
working. Need to debug that later. In the meantime, some requests/questions:
- Please look over my changes and see if they make sense. (You don't need to
track down the bug; I take the blame for that :).
- Can you please rework the Doxygen comments in HyperLogLog.h so that the
descriptions for the public methods are understandable on their own. Right now
I can't really follow them as often they talk about internal
parameters/functionality. What you could do is provide a short overview of the
data structure parameters in the class' doc string, and then refer to that in
the methods. Also, please use the @param and @return syntax. (Start from my
branch with this: I already reformatted and reordered things there quite a bit.)
- I don't understand what can be parameterized by the user and what not (and
why not). One can give an error margin to the actor, but the confidence is a
compile time constant. Also, where are the magic alpha_m values in *.cc coming
from? Are these indeed always static values that don't depend on any parameters?

> The branch adds support for the hyperloglog data structure.
> In the branch, core/leaks/basic-cluster.bro currently faisl. However, this
> seems to be unrelated to hll and just to be triggered by the addition of it
> to the sumstats tests. It looks like some kind of scriptland issue. pprof
> output is attached. (master, workers don't leak memory)
