Gabor Gevay commented on FLINK-2147: ------------------------------------ > From a first look, something like StreamGroupedFold would be enough right? Sorry, I'm not sure. I suggest you ask on the mailing list, and then probably someone who knows streaming better than me will respond. Unfortunately I don't have enough time now to delve deep into this. By the way, maybe you could start with this Jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2144 There are some similarities to this one, but it is more straightforward to implement. > Approximate calculation of frequencies in data streams > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-2147 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2147 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Streaming > Reporter: Gabor Gevay > Labels: approximate, statistics > > Count-Min sketch is a hashing-based algorithm for approximately keeping track > of the frequencies of elements in a data stream. It is described by Cormode > et al. in the following paper: > http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/~graham/pubs/papers/cmsoft.pdf > Note that this algorithm can be conveniently implemented in a distributed > way, as described in section 3.2 of the paper. > The paper > http://www.vldb.org/conf/2002/S10P03.pdf > also describes algorithms for approximately keeping track of frequencies, but > here the user can specify a threshold below which she is not interested in > the frequency of an element. The error-bounds are also different than the > Count-min sketch algorithm. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
