Gabor Gevay commented on FLINK-2147:
------------------------------------
Maybe we could over-partition the sketch into maxParallelism parts. (similarly,
as we have more key-groups than actual partitions)

> 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.
