Apache DataSketches (incubating)

A software library of stochastic streaming algorithms

Apache DataSketches is an open source, high-performance library of stochastic streaming algorithms commonly called “sketches” in the data sciences. Sketches are small, stateful programs that process massive data as a stream and provide approximate answers, with mathematical guarantees, to computationally difficult queries orders-of-magnitude faster than traditional, exact methods.

After 8 years of development and 5 years as in Open Source, we have begun the important migration from a stand-alone GitHub site to being a member of the Apache Software Foundation community. While we undergo this migration, we beg your patience.


Disclaimer: Apache DataSketches is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
