      # For large tables, PostgreSQL can take a long time to count rows due to MVCC.
      # Implements a distinct batch counter based on HyperLogLog algorithm
      # Needs indexes on the column below to calculate max, min and range queries
      # For larger tables just set higher batch_size with index optimization
      #
      # In order to not use a possible complex time consuming query when calculating min and max values,
      # the start and finish can be sent specifically, start and finish should contain max and min values for PRIMARY KEY of
      # relation (most cases `id` column) rather than counted attribute eg:
      # estimate_distinct_count(start: ::Project.aimed_for_deletion.minimum(:id), finish: ::Project.aimed_for_deletion.maximum(:id))
      #
      # Grouped relations are NOT supported yet.
      #
      # @example Usage
      #  ::Gitlab::Database::PostgresHllBatchDistinctCount.new(::Project, :creator_id).execute
      #  ::Gitlab::Database::PostgresHllBatchDistinctCount.new(::Project.aimed_for_deletion.service_desk_enabled.where(time_period))
      #    .execute(
      #      batch_size: 1_000,
      #      start: ::Project.aimed_for_deletion.service_desk_enabled.where(time_period).minimum(:id),
      #      finish: ::Project.aimed_for_deletion.service_desk_enabled.where(time_period).maximum(:id)
      #    )
      #
      # @note HyperLogLog is an PROBABILISTIC algorithm that ESTIMATES distinct count of given attribute value for supplied relation
      #  Like all probabilistic algorithm is has ERROR RATE margin, that can affect values,
      #  for given implementation no higher value was reported (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/45673#accuracy-estimation) than 5.3%
      #  for the most of a cases this value is lower. However, if the exact value is necessary other tools has to be used.
