CounterSnake: A lossless and generalized compression framework for diverse sketches

Summary: CounterSnake losslessly compresses sketch counters via hierarchical linking of overflowed counters into variable-size logical counters. Tag-based linking, d-way mapping, sign encoding, and virtual counters preserve full interfaces, bounded latency, and multi-sketch optimization while substantially reducing memory.
