Show HN: An improved version of HyperLogLog
I was interested in using HLL for a project where I had ~20 million objects and each had a "status" with about 6 possibilities. I wanted to get fast counts of how many objects were in each status. But their status can change over time, so I needed a way to also remove items from the count. HLL doesn't support this. Does anyone know of an algorithm that does? (Keeping a separate HLL for "removed" doesn't help because objects can revisit the same status they had before.)
