Instructions
HyperLogLog and provides two instructions pfadd pfcount, according to the literal meaning is well understood, increasing a count, a count is acquired.

(integer) 1
127.0.0.1:6379> pfcount codehole
(integer) 10
HyperLogLog addition to the above pfadd and pfcount, also provides a third instruction pfmerge, for adding together a plurality of count values pf pf form a new value.
