=================
This is the core Java component of the DataSketches library. It contains all of the sketching algorithms and can be accessed directly from user applications.
This component is also a dependency of other components of the library that create adaptors for target systems, such as the Apache Pig adaptor, the Apache Hive adaptor, and others.
Note that we have a parallel core component for C++, Python and GO implementations of many of the same sketch algorithms, datasketches-cpp, datasketches-python, and datasketches-go.
Please visit the main DataSketches website for more information.

NOTE: This component accesses resource files for testing. As a result, the directory elements of the full absolute path of the target installation directory must qualify as Java identifiers. In other words, the directory elements must not have any space characters (or non-Java identifier characters) in any of the path elements. This is required by the Oracle Java Specification in order to ensure location-independent access to resources: See Oracle Location-Independent Access to Resources
An OpenJDK-compatible build of Java 24, provided by one of the Open-Source JVM providers, such as Azul Systems, Red Hat, SAP, Eclipse Temurin, etc, is required. All of the testing of this release has been performed with an Eclipse Temurin build.
This release uses the new Java Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) features that were made part of the Java Language in in Java 22.
This DataSketches component is structured as a Maven project and Maven is the recommended tool for compile and test.
$ mvn clean test
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests=true
This will create the following jars:
