datasketch gives you probabilistic data structures that can process and search very large amount of data super fast, with little loss of accuracy.
This package contains the following data sketches:
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Data Sketch | Usage |
+=========================+===============================================+
| MinHash_ | estimate Jaccard similarity and cardinality |
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Weighted MinHash_ | estimate weighted Jaccard similarity |
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| HyperLogLog_ | estimate cardinality |
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| HyperLogLog++_ | estimate cardinality |
+-------------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
The following indexes for data sketches are provided to support sub-linear query time:
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+------------------------+
| Index | For Data Sketch | Supported Query Type |
+===========================+=============================+========================+
| MinHash LSH_ | MinHash, Weighted MinHash | Jaccard Threshold |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+------------------------+
| MinHash LSH Forest_ | MinHash, Weighted MinHash | Jaccard Top-K |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+------------------------+
| MinHash LSH Ensemble_ | MinHash | Containment Threshold |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+------------------------+
| HNSW_ | Any | Custom Metric Top-K |
+---------------------------+-----------------------------+------------------------+
datasketch must be used with Python 3.7 or above, NumPy 1.11 or above, and Scipy.
Note that MinHash LSH_ and MinHash LSH Ensemble_ also support Redis and Cassandra
storage layer (see MinHash LSH at Scale_).
To install datasketch using pip:
::
pip install datasketch
This will also install NumPy as dependency.
To install with Redis dependency:
::
pip install datasketch[redis]
To install with Cassandra dependency:
::
pip install datasketch[cassandra]
