 <div class="block">This performs union operations for HLL sketches. This union operator is configured with a
  <i>lgMaxK</i> instead of the normal <i>lgConfigK</i>.

  <p>This union operator does permit the unioning of sketches with different values of
  <i>lgConfigK</i>.  The user should be aware that the resulting accuracy of a sketch returned
  at the end of the unioning process will be a function of the smallest of <i>lgMaxK</i> and
  <i>lgConfigK</i> that the union operator has seen.

  <p>This union operator also permits unioning of any of the three different target HllSketch
  types.

  <p>Although the API for this union operator parallels many of the methods of the
  <i>HllSketch</i>, the behavior of the union operator has some fundamental differences.

  <p>First, the user cannot specify the <a href="../../../../com/yahoo/sketches/hll/TgtHllType.html" title="enum in com.yahoo.sketches.hll"><code>TgtHllType</code></a> as an input parameter.
  Instead, it is specified for the sketch returned with <a href="../../../../com/yahoo/sketches/hll/Union.html#getResult-com.yahoo.sketches.hll.TgtHllType-"><code>getResult(TgtHllType)</code></a>.

  <p>Second, the internal effective value of log-base-2 of <i>K</i> for the union operation can
  change dynamically based on the smallest <i>lgConfigK</i> that the union operation has seen.</div>

 <pre>public&nbsp;void&nbsp;update(<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.lang">String</a>&nbsp;datum)</pre>
 <div class="block">Present the given String as a potential unique item.
  The string is converted to a byte array using UTF8 encoding.
  If the string is null or empty no update attempt is made and the method returns.

  <p>Note: About 2X faster performance can be obtained by first converting the String to a
  char[] and updating the sketch with that. This bypasses the complexity of the Java UTF_8
  encoding. This, of course, will not produce the same internal hash values as updating directly
  with a String. So be consistent!  Unioning two sketches, one fed with strings and the other
  fed with char[] will be meaningless.
