Study Notes
Stream Data Sampling
- Stream data processing often avoids storing all incoming data due to its volume and speed.
- Sampling extracts a representative subset to reflect the stream's statistical properties.
- Random Sampling: Selects data items randomly with equal probability, ensuring unbiased representation. It needs to re-evaluate with each new item.
- Reservoir Sampling: A randomized algorithm for selecting a random sample from a large or unknown population. It uses a probabilistic algorithm that replaces elements proportionally in the reservoir.
Filtering Streams
- Filtering selects elements in a stream based on criteria to extract meaningful information.
- Bloom Filters: Probabilistic data structures for efficiently checking if an element exists in a set. Critical for filtering and approximate membership queries in stream processing.
Bloom Filter Details
- Structure: A bit array (size m) and k independent hash functions.
- Adding Elements: Hashing each element using all k hash functions, then setting the corresponding bit array positions to 1.
- Querying Elements: Apply the k hash functions to the element. If all corresponding bit array positions are 1, the element is likely present (with false positive possibility).
-
Key Properties:
- False Positives: May incorrectly identify an element as present. Never includes false negatives (elements actually present are never missed).
- Space Efficiency: Significantly more space-efficient than storing all items.
- Time Efficiency: Insertion and query take O(k) time, making it suitable for real-time applications.
Bloom Filter Analysis
- False Positive Probability: Depends on m (bit array size), k (hash functions), and n (elements added). Using the optimal number of hash functions minimizes this probability. Formula: P(False Positive) = (1 - e^(-kn/m))^k
- Space Complexity: O(m) space, considerably less than storing the full set.
- Time Complexity: O(k) for insertion and query operations.
Bloom Filter Applications
- Duplicate Detection: Identifying duplicate elements in a stream.
- Caching: Quickly checking if an item exists in a cache.
- Network Security: Filtering malicious URLs or IP addresses.
