Probabilistic Data Structures and Stream Data Processing






















The scale and the new way of stream processing has given rise to many interesting data structures and algorithms.

Here are some good resources that cover the topics like:

"Some Important Streaming Algorithms You Should Know About", covers several essential data structures and algorithms, from Ted Dunning

"Probabilistic Data Structures for Web Analytics and Data Mining", a really nice overview from Highly Scalable Blog:
