Class VarcharApproximateMostFrequent


  • public final class VarcharApproximateMostFrequent
    extends Object

    Aggregation function that approximates the frequency of the top-K elements. This function keeps counts for a "frequent" subset of elements and assumes all other elements once fewer than the least-frequent "frequent" element.

    The algorithm is based loosely on: Efficient Computation of Frequent and Top-*k* Elements in Data Streams by Ahmed Metwally, Divyakant Agrawal, and Amr El Abbadi
