[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-10855) Add reference for appoximate unique algorithms in java and python SDK

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10855?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17199836#comment-17199836 ] 

Monica Song commented on BEAM-10855:
------------------------------------

the algorithm is KMV (keeping k largest instead of k smallest) with correction for hash collisions akin to cardinality estimation using bloom filters
