@ottobackwards Good point, there is some overlap between end-user docs and
the stuff in the README.md's. Things like the stellar language and function
docs should be part of the wiki, I suspect. We probably need something more
high level than the examples in the stellar-statistics README that I cited
earlier.

> Calculating set cardinality can be a useful tool for a security analyst. For
> instance, a large volume of non-unique src ip addresses hitting your network
> may be an indication that you are currently under attack. There have been
> many advancements in distinct value (DV) estimation over the years. We have
> seen implementations evolve from K-Minimum-Values (KMV), to LogLog, to
> HyperLogLog, and now to Google's much-improved HyperLogLogPlu algorithm. The
> key improvements in this latest manifestation of the algorithm are:
> moves to a 64-bit hash
> handles sparse sets
> is more accurate with small cardinality
> This Jira tracks the effort to add a HyperLogLogPlus implementation to Metron.
