 HyperLogLog++ is advanced cardinality estimation algorithm with

 estimate approximate number of unique elements in an unordered 
 set.

 hll-d [1, 2] is written in D. It can be used as betterC library 
 without linking with DRuntime. hll-d has C header and C example.

 Its implementation is based on Mir Algorithm [3]
   1. mir.ndslice.topology.bitpack is used for arrays composed 
 of packed 6bit integers
   2. mir.ndslice.sorting.sort is used for betterC sorting.

Thanks for the great work. I check the c api, can not figure out how to get the count number for one element. For example if I use it as IP counter, is there a way to know how much count for one IP has been add into set ?

No, that's not what this is for. Hyperloglog is useful if you have a big dataset that may contain duplicates and you want to know how many unique items you have (with a reasonnable probability). For example, as a website, this can be used to estimate how many visitors you have without having to store every single IP address to check for duplicates at new connections. The tradeoff is that it's probabilistic: you don't need to store every address so you need much less space and time to get a count of unique ips, but you have to accept a margin of error on that result and you can't know what the IPs were in the first place, just how many of them there are.

Thanks for quick anwser. You mean with Hyperloglog, I can not get each IP count but only the value how much IP has beed add into set ?
