Probabilistic Data Structure for Cardinality Estimation

cardinality performance probabilistic analytics
Prompt
Implement advanced cardinality estimation techniques using HyperLogLog and probabilistic data structures in PostgreSQL to efficiently track unique element counts across massive datasets. Design a solution that: 1) Provides near-constant memory usage, 2) Supports mergeable sketches, 3) Enables real-time approximate counting, 4) Integrates with existing query planning mechanisms. Include detailed implementation strategies and error rate analysis.
