Class FdtSketch

  • public class FdtSketch
extends ArrayOfStringsSketch
    A Frequent Distinct Tuples sketch.

    Suppose our data is a stream of pairs {IP address, User ID} and we want to identify the IP addresses that have the most distinct User IDs. Or conversely, we would like to identify the User IDs that have the most distinct IP addresses. This is a common challenge in the analysis of big data and the FDT sketch helps solve this problem using probabilistic techniques.

    More generally, given a multiset of tuples with dimensions {d1,d2, d3, ..., dN}, and a primary subset of dimensions M < N, our task is to identify the combinations of M subset dimensions that have the most frequent number of distinct combinations of the N-M non-primary dimensions.

    Please refer to the web page https://datasketches.apache.org/docs/Frequency/FrequentDistinctTuplesSketch.html for a more complete discussion about this sketch.
