`probabilistic-collections` contains various implementations of collections that use approximations
to improve on running time or memory, but introduce a certain amount of error. The error can be
controlled under a certain threshold which makes these data structures extremely useful for big data
and streaming applications.

The following types of collections are implemented:

- Approximate Membership in Set: `BloomFilter`, `PartitionedBloomFilter`, `CuckooFilter`,
  `QuotientFilter`
- Scalable Approximate Membership in Set: `ScalableBloomFilter`, `ScalableCuckooFilter`
- Approximate Membership in Stream: `BSBloomFilter`, `BSSDBloomFilter`, `RLBSBloomFilter`
- Approximate Item Count: `CountMinSketch`
- Approximate Distinct Item Count: `HyperLogLog`
- Set similarity: `MinHash`, `SimHash`

## Usage

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
probabilistic-collections = "*"
```

For [`serde`](https://github.com/serde-rs/serde) support, include the `serde` feature:

```toml
[dependencies]
probabilistic-collections = { version = "*", features = ["serde"] }
```

Add this to your crate root if you are using Rust 2015:

```rust
extern crate probabilistic_collections;
```

## Caveats

If you are using this crate to create collections to be used across different platforms, you must be
careful not to use keys of type `[T]`. The Rust standard library implementation of `Hash` for `[T]`
first hashes the length of the slice, then the contents of the slice. The length is platform
specific because it is of type `usize`. Therefore, a collection with keys of type `[T]` will have
unexpected results when used across platforms. For example, if you were to generate and serilize a
`BloomFilter` on i686 compiled code where the keys are of type `[u8]`, the filter will not have the
correct results when deserialized on x86_64 compiled code.

The recommended work-around to this problem is to a define a wrapper struct around a `[T]` with a
`Hash` implementation that only hashes the contents of the slice.
