View Source Talan.Counter (talan v0.1.2)

Linear probabilistic counter implementation with concurrent accessibility, powered by :atomics module for cardinality estimation.

Cardinality is the count of unique elements.

@spec new(non_neg_integer(), list()) :: t()

Returns a new %Talan.Counter{} struct.

expected_cardinality is the max number of uniq items the counter will handle with approx 1% of error rate.

@spec put(t(), any()) :: :ok

Hashes term and sets a bit to mark it has been seen.

Doesn't store the term so it's space efficient. Uses :atomics so it's mutable & highly concurrent.

Returns :ok.
