Algorithms

40+ production-ready algorithms across 10 categories for comprehensive data streaming analytics. See ROADMAP.md for complete algorithm documentation.

1. Cardinality Estimation

Count unique items in a stream without storing all items.

UltraLogLog ⭐ NEW 2024

let mut ull = UltraLogLog::new(14)?;  // precision 14 = ±0.8% error
for id in user_ids {
    ull.update(&id);
}
println!("Unique users: {}", ull.estimate());

// Mergeable for distributed systems
ull1.merge(&ull2)?;

When to use: General-purpose cardinality, 28% more space-efficient than HyperLogLog

Performance: 40ns updates, 3KB for 1M items (p=14)

CPC Sketch

let mut cpc = CpcSketch::new(11)?;
// Maximum space efficiency (30-40% better than HyperLogLog)

When to use: Maximum space efficiency critical

Theta Sketch

let mut theta = ThetaSketch::new(12)?;
let union = theta1.union(&theta2);
let intersection = theta1.intersect(&theta2);
let difference = theta1.difference(&theta2);

When to use: Set operations (union, intersection, difference)

2. Membership Testing

Check if an item was seen before (probabilistic set membership).

Binary Fuse Filter ⭐ NEW 2021

// Build filter from known items
let filter = BinaryFuseFilter::from_items(
    user_ids.iter().copied(),
    9  // bits per entry for ~1% false positive rate
)?;

// Query
if filter.contains(&test_id) {
    println!("User probably exists (99% sure)");
}

When to use: Fast membership testing, 75% smaller than Bloom filters

Performance: 22ns queries, 1.1KB for 1M items (1% FP rate)

Limitation: Immutable (rebuild to add items, or use IBIF for dynamic)

3. Quantile Estimation

Compute percentiles (p50, p95, p99, p99.9) from streaming data.

DDSketch ⭐ MODERN

let mut dd = DDSketch::new(0.01)?;  // 1% relative error
for latency_ms in latencies {
    dd.add(latency_ms);
}

println!("p50:   {}", dd.quantile(0.50)?);
println!("p95:   {}", dd.quantile(0.95)?);
println!("p99:   {}", dd.quantile(0.99)?);
println!("p99.9: {}", dd.quantile(0.999)?);

When to use: General-purpose quantiles, metrics spanning orders of magnitude

Performance: 44ns adds, <10µs queries

Why better than T-Digest: Formal relative error guarantees, 4x faster

REQ Sketch ⭐ MODERN

let mut req = ReqSketch::new(128, ReqMode::HighRankAccuracy)?;
// Zero error at p100 in HRA mode

When to use: SLO/SLA monitoring, tail latencies (p99+), zero error at p100

4. Frequency Estimation

Count occurrences of items in a stream.

Count-Min Sketch

let mut cms = CountMinSketch::new(0.01, 0.01)?;  // ε, δ
for ip_address in log_stream {
    cms.update(&ip_address);
}

println!("Requests from IP: ~{}", cms.estimate(&target_ip));
// Never underestimates, may overestimate by ε × total_count

When to use: Point queries ("How many times did I see X?")

Performance: 170-380ns updates (scales with accuracy)

Frequent Items (Top-K)

let mut freq = FrequentItems::new(100)?;  // Track top 100
for item in stream {
    freq.update(item);
}

let top_items = freq.frequent_items(ErrorType::NoFalsePositives);
for (item, lower, upper) in top_items {
    println!("{}: [{}, {}]", item, lower, upper);
}

When to use: "What are the top-K most frequent items?" (heavy hitters)

Space-Saving Sketch ⭐ NEW

// Deterministic heavy hitter detection with per-item error bounds
let mut ss = SpaceSaving::new(0.01)?;  // ε = 0.01 → track top 100 items
for item in stream {
    ss.update(item);
}

// Get items above frequency threshold
let threshold = 0.001;  // 0.1% of stream
let heavy_hitters = ss.heavy_hitters(threshold);
for (item, count, error) in heavy_hitters {
    println!("{}: count=[{}, {}]", item, count - error, count);
}

// Get top-k
let top_10 = ss.top_k(10);

When to use: Guaranteed heavy hitter detection without false negatives. Better than Frequent Items when you need deterministic bounds.

Guarantees: Any item with frequency > epsilon × N is guaranteed to be detected

Count Sketch

// Unbiased frequency estimation (alternative to Count-Min)
let mut cs = CountSketch::new(0.01, 0.01)?;  // ε, δ
for item in stream {
    cs.update(&item, 1);
}

// Unbiased estimate (can be negative!)
let estimate = cs.estimate(&target_item);
println!("Count: ~{}", estimate);

// Count Sketch supports deletions
cs.update(&item_to_remove, -1);

// Inner product estimation
let inner_product = cs1.inner_product(&cs2);

When to use: Better than Count-Min on skewed (Zipf) distributions. Supports deletions. Unbiased estimates.

Key difference: Error bound is epsilon * ||f||_2 (L2 norm) vs Count-Min's epsilon * N (L1 norm)

5. Similarity Estimation

Estimate similarity between sets without comparing full sets.

MinHash

let mut mh1 = MinHash::new(128)?;  // 128 permutations
let mut mh2 = MinHash::new(128)?;

for token in document1 {
    mh1.update(&token);
}
for token in document2 {
    mh2.update(&token);
}

let jaccard = mh1.jaccard_similarity(&mh2);
println!("Similarity: {:.2}%", jaccard * 100.0);

When to use: Document deduplication, plagiarism detection, recommendation systems

Performance: <100ns updates

6. Range Filters

Efficiently test if any element exists in a key range [a,b] without storing all elements.

Grafite (SIGMOD 2024)

let mut grafite = Grafite::new(100)?;  // For 100 keys
grafite.build_from_sorted_keys(&sorted_keys);

// Query: "Are there any keys in range [1000, 2000]?"
if grafite.range_contains(1000, 2000) {
    println!("At least one key in range");
}

When to use: LSM-tree filtering, database range queries, spatial indexing

Key difference: Unlike membership filters (which test individual keys), range filters test key ranges

Memento Filter (SIGMOD 2025)

let mut memento = MementoFilter::new(1024)?;
memento.insert(&key1);
memento.insert(&key2);

// Dynamic range queries after construction
if memento.may_contain_in_range(&lower_bound, &upper_bound) {
    // Possible range hit - check upstream
}

When to use: B-Tree filtering, dynamic range queries, MongoDB/WiredTiger integration

7. Set Reconciliation

Efficiently synchronize sets between systems without transferring all elements.

IBLT (Invertible Bloom Lookup Table)

let mut iblt1 = IBLT::new(1024, 3)?;  // Set A
iblt1.insert(b"key1", b"value1");
iblt1.insert(b"key2", b"value2");

let mut iblt2 = IBLT::new(1024, 3)?;  // Set B
iblt2.insert(b"key1", b"value1");
iblt2.insert(b"key3", b"value3");

// Compute differences
iblt1.subtract(&iblt2);
let (additions, deletions) = iblt1.decode()?;
println!("Added: {:?}, Removed: {:?}", additions, deletions);

When to use: P2P synchronization, blockchain consensus, distributed data reconciliation

Performance: 5.6x speedup vs naive diff in Ethereum block sync

8. Frequency Estimation (Advanced)

SplineSketch (2024-2025)

let mut spline = SplineSketch::new(256)?;
for value in data {
    spline.update(value, 1.0);
}

// Quantile estimates with spline interpolation (2-20x better accuracy)
let p50 = spline.query(0.5);
let p99 = spline.query(0.99);

When to use: Non-skewed distributions, better accuracy than T-Digest

SALSA (Adaptive Counter Sizing)

let mut salsa = SALSA::new(0.001, 0.01)?;
salsa.update(b"item", count);

// Auto-adapts counter sizing based on distribution
let (estimate, confidence) = salsa.estimate(b"item");

When to use: Automatic accuracy optimization without manual tuning

Removable Universal Sketch

let mut rus = RemovableUniversalSketch::new(0.01, 0.01)?;
rus.update(b"item", 5);    // Insert
rus.update(b"item", -2);   // Delete

// Supports negative frequencies (turnstile streams)
let freq = rus.estimate(b"item");  // Returns 3
let l2_norm = rus.l2_norm();       // Frequency moment

When to use: Deletion support, turnstile streams, frequency moments

9. Membership Testing (Advanced)

Elastic Sketch

let mut elastic = ElasticSketch::new(512, 3)?;
elastic.update(b"flow_id", traffic_bytes);

// Elastic counters adapt to distribution
let estimate = elastic.estimate(b"flow_id");

// Find heavy hitters
let top_flows = elastic.heavy_hitters(100_000_000)?;

When to use: Network traffic measurement, multi-task telemetry, flow analysis

Dynamic XOR-Bloom Hybrid

let mut hybrid = DynamicXORBloom::new(1000, 12)?;

// Phase 1: Build static XOR part
hybrid.construct(initial_items)?;

// Phase 2: Add dynamic items later
hybrid.insert(b"new_item");

// Query both parts
if hybrid.contains(b"item") {
    println!("Found in static or dynamic part");
}

When to use: Initial batch + dynamic additions, near-XOR efficiency with Bloom flexibility

Vacuum Filter (VLDB 2020)

let mut vacuum = VacuumFilter::new(10000, 0.01)?;
for item in items {
    vacuum.insert(&item)?;
}

// 25% less space than Cuckoo Filter, 10x faster than Bloom
let found = vacuum.contains(&test_item);

When to use: Space-critical membership testing, maximum efficiency

10. Cardinality (Advanced)

QSketch (Weighted Cardinality)

let mut qsketch = QSketch::new(256)?;
qsketch.update(b"user_1", 100.0);  // $100 revenue
qsketch.update(b"user_2", 250.0);  // $250 revenue

// Estimate weighted cardinality
let (total_weight, error) = qsketch.estimate_weighted_cardinality();
println!("Total revenue: ${} ± ${}", total_weight, error);

let distinct_users = qsketch.estimate_distinct_elements();

When to use: Revenue estimation, weighted set operations, financial metrics

11. Streaming

Exponential Histogram (Enhanced)

let mut eh = ExponentialHistogram::new(3600, 0.01)?;
eh.insert(timestamp, count);

// Get count with error bounds
let (estimate, lower, upper) = eh.count(current_time);
println!("Events: {} (range [{}, {}])", estimate, lower, upper);

// Merge for distributed aggregation
eh.merge(&other_histogram)?;

When to use: Time-window analytics, streaming aggregation with error bounds

12. Optimized Sketches

All core algorithms have been optimized for 2-10x better performance:

CountMinSketch: Single-hash-derive + power-of-2 width
BloomFilter: Kirsch-Mitzenmacher double hashing + Lemire fast range
HyperLogLog: Optimized bit operations
BinaryFuseFilter: Cache-optimized tagging
CountSketch: Unbiased median estimation with diagonal boosting

    return Error::TooManyRequests;
}

// Query with bounds
let (estimate, lower, upper) = eh.count(current_time);
println!("Events in last hour: {} (range [{}, {}])", estimate, lower, upper);

// Check if item in cache before expensive lookup
let cache_filter = BinaryFuseFilter::from_items(
    cache_keys.iter().copied(), 9
)?;

if !cache_filter.contains(&key) {
    return None;  // Definitely not in cache
}
// Possibly in cache, do expensive lookup

Deduplication

// Near-duplicate detection
let mut mh = MinHash::new(128)?;
for word in document.split_whitespace() {
