hll.go

// Package hll contains a HyperLogLog++ with a LogLog-Beta bias correction implementation that is adapted (mostly
// copied) from an implementation provided by Clark DuVall
// github.com/clarkduvall/hyperloglog.
//
// The differences are that the implementation in this package:
//
//   * uses an AMD64 optimised xxhash algorithm instead of murmur;
//   * uses some AMD64 optimisations for things like clz;
//   * works with []byte rather than a Hash64 interface, to reduce allocations;
//   * implements encoding.BinaryMarshaler and encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler
//
// Based on some rough benchmarking, this implementation of HyperLogLog++ is
// around twice as fast as the github.com/clarkduvall/hyperloglog implementation.
