redis - What are leading zeroes in regards to HyperLogLog? -


i reading antirez.com , wikipedia , other sources understang hll , how works, each time term "leading zeroes" used stumble. please explain means when talk hyperloglog.

leading zeroes number of 0s before first 1 in binary representation of hash. equivalent computing most significant bit.

hyperloglog algorithm not depend on computing these leading zeroes, needs check known prefix in binary representation of hash. happens computing significant bit fast on hardware implementations.
