# *****************************************************************************

# A set is similar to a list, except it does not have a specific order
# and each element may only appear once.
# *****************************************************************************

# *****************************************************************************

# Hashes are maps between string fields and string values,
# so they are the perfect data type to represent objects.
# *****************************************************************************

# of unique elements in a set using just a constant, and small, amount of memory
# *****************************************************************************


PFADD key element [element ...]  # add the specified elements to the specified HyperLogLog
PFCOUNT key [key ...]            # return the approximated cardinality of the set(s) observed by the HyperLogLog at key's)
