DataSketches
DataSketches is an open source, high-performance library of stochastic
streaming algorithms commonly called "sketches" in the data sciences. Sketches
are small, stateful programs that process massive data as a stream and can
provide approximate answers, with mathematical guarantees, to computationally
difficult queries orders-of-magnitude faster than traditional, exact methods.
DataSketches has been incubating since 2019-03-30.
