TDIGEST.CREATE

Syntax
TDIGEST.CREATE key [COMPRESSION compression]
Available in:
Redis Stack / Bloom 2.4.0
Time complexity:
O(1)

Allocate memory and initialize a t-digest sketch.

Parameters:

  • key: The name of the sketch (a t-digest data structure)

Optional parameters:

  • COMPRESSION: The compression parameter. 100 is a common value for normal uses. 1000 is extremely large. If no value is passed by default the compression will be 100. Further notes bellow.

Further notes on compression vs accuracy: Constructing a t-digest sketch requires a compression parameter, which determines the size of the digest and accuracy of quantile estimation. For more information on scaling of accuracy versus the compression parameter see The t-digest: Efficient estimates of distributions.

Return

Simple string reply - OK if executed correctly, or Error reply otherwise.

Examples

redis> TDIGEST.CREATE t-digest 100
OK
