HyperLogLog monoid is used to estimate cardinality of sets via estimateSize().

The MinHasher monoid javadoc says "You can use a set's signature to estimate the number of distinct values in the set." - suggesting that this functionality exists there as well.  But I see no similar method in that class, so I'm guessing this is not yet in the current MinHasher implementation ... or am I missing something?

Best,

Hey Tom,
Maybe that's whats the method approxCount in MinHasher32 does? Its comments says its "experimental and not generic yet"
