1 Integrated into Druid.
2 Spark Example Code on website. Theta Sketch is the only one we have tried in Spark, it doesn’t mean other sketches cannot be used.
3 Tuple Sketch: Example Code in test/…/tuple/aninteger.
4 Theta Sketch: C++/Python has no implementaion of the Jaccard, yet.
5 Frequent Items Sketch: PostgreSQL implemented for Strings only.
6 KLL & REQ Sketch: Python implemented for both just floats and ints.
7 See Python Install Instructions
