wikipedia:Cardinality is generally defined as the number of elements in a set.
Calculating the exact cardinality of a multiset requires an amount of memory proportional to the cardinality, which is impractical for very large data sets. The HyperLogLog algorithm is able to estimate cardinalities of > 109 with a typical accuracy (standard error) of 2%, using 1.5 kB of memory.
You can have lower cardinality (1:5 label-value ratio), standard cardinality (1:80 label-value ratio), or high cardinality (1:10,000 label-value ratio). [1]
