This module defines operations on the HyperLogLog data type. Create HLL operations used by the Client#operate command.

For more information, please refer to the ⇑HyperLogLog documentation in the Aerospike Feature Guide.

Examples

Adds items to HyperLogLog bin and gets approximate count

const Aerospike = require('aerospike')
const hll = Aerospike.hll
const key = new Aerospike.Key('test', 'demo', 'hllDemo')

// INSERT HOSTNAME AND PORT NUMBER OF AEROSPIKE SERVER NODE HERE!
var config = {
  hosts: '192.168.33.10:3000',
  // Timeouts disabled, latency dependent on server location. Configure as needed.
  policies: {
    operate : new Aerospike.OperatePolicy({socketTimeout : 0, totalTimeout : 0})
  }
}
Aerospike.connect(config).then(async client => {
  const result = await client.operate(key, [
    hll.init('demo', 10),
    hll.add('demo', ['blue', 'green', 'red']),
    hll.add('demo', ['green', 'orange', 'yellow']),
    hll.add('demo', ['red', 'blue']),
    hll.getCount('demo')
  ])
  console.log('Count:', result.bins.demo) // => Count: 5
  client.close()
})

Performs a union of multiple sets

const Aerospike = require('aerospike')
const hll = Aerospike.hll
const ops = Aerospike.operations
// INSERT HOSTNAME AND PORT NUMBER OF AEROSPIKE SERVER NODE HERE!
var config = {
  hosts: '192.168.33.10:3000',
  // Timeouts disabled, latency dependent on server location. Configure as needed.
  policies: {
    operate : new Aerospike.OperatePolicy({socketTimeout : 0, totalTimeout : 0})
  }
}
const key1 = new Aerospike.Key('test', 'demo', 'hllDemo1')
const key2 = new Aerospike.Key('test', 'demo', 'hllDemo2')
const key3 = new Aerospike.Key('test', 'demo', 'hllDemo3')

Aerospike.connect(config).then(async client => {
  const { bins: { colors: colors1 } } = await client.operate(key1, [
    hll.add('colors', ['blue', 'green', 'orange', 'yellow'], 12),
    ops.read('colors')
  ])

  const { bins: { colors: colors2 } } = await client.operate(key2, [
    hll.add('colors', ['violet', 'purple', 'pink', 'orange'], 8),
    ops.read('colors')
  ])

  const { bins: { colors: count } } = await client.operate(key3, [
    hll.add('colors', ['red', 'yellow', 'brown', 'green'], 10),
    hll.setUnion('colors', [colors1, colors2])
         .withPolicy({ writeFlags: hll.writeFlags.ALLOW_FOLD }),
    hll.getCount('colors')
  ])

  console.log('Count:', count) // => Count: 9
  client.close()
})

Classes

HLLOperation

Members

(static) writeFlags :Object

HLL write flags.

Source:
See:
Properties:
Name Type Description
DEFAULT number

Allow create or update. Default.

CREATE_ONLY number

If the bin already exists, the operation will be denied. If the bin does not exist, a new bin will be created.

UPDATE_ONLY number

If the bin already exists, the bin will be overwritten. If the bin does not exist, the operation will be denied.

NO_FAIL number

Do not raise error if operation is denied.

ALLOW_FOLD number

Allow the resulting set to be the minimum of provided index bits. For getIntersectCount and getSimilarity, allow the usage of less precise HLL algorithms when min hash bits of all participating sets do not match.

Type:
  • Object

Methods

(static) add(bin, list, indexBitsopt, minhashBitsopt) → {Object}

Description:
  • Adds elements to the HLL set. If the bin does not exist, create the HLL with the indexBits and minhashBits parameters.

    Returns an integer indicating number of entries that caused HLL to update a register.

    The add operation supports the following HLL Policy write flags:

    • CREATE_ONLY
    • NO_FAIL

    Not specifying the bit count, implies UPDATE_ONLY.

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
bin string

Parameters:
Name Type Description
bin string

The name of the bin. The bin must contain an HLL value.

Returns:

    • ALLOW_FOLD
    • NO_FAIL

    If ALLOW_FOLD is not set, all provided HLLs and the target bin (if it exists) must have matching index bits and minhash bits. If ALLOW_FOLD is set, server will union down to the minimum index bits of all provided HLLs and the target bin (if it exists).
