[jira] [Updated] (SOLR-6968) add hyperloglog in statscomponent as an approximate count

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6968?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Hoss Man updated SOLR-6968:
---------------------------
    Attachment: SOLR-6968.patch

Updated patch with more tests.

My current TODO list...

{noformat}
 - 6 < regwidth makes no sense? 
   - even at (min) log2m==4, isn't regwidth==6 big enough for all possible (hashed) long values?

 - prehashed support
   - need to sanity/error check that the field is a long
   - add an update processor to make this easy to do at index time
 - tunning knobs
   - memory vs accuracy (log2m)
     - idea: (least ram) 0 < accuracy < 1 (most accurate)
       - scale 
   - max cardinality estimatable (regwidth)
     - perhaps hardcode regwidth==6 ? expert only option to adjust?
     - pick regwidth based on field type? (int/enum have fewer in general)
     - pick regwidth based on index stats? max out based on total terms in field?
       - or for single valued fields: max out based on numDocs
       - HLL must use same hash seed, but does it support union when log2m and regwidth are diff?
 - convinience equivilence with countDistinct in solrj response obj ?

> stats component currently supports "calcDistinct" but it's terribly inefficient -- especially in distib mode.
> we should add support for using hyperloglog to compute an approximate count of distinct values (using localparams via SOLR-6349 to control the precision of the approximation)
