# Generate an array of [cardinality,relative_error] pairs
# in the 0 - max range, with the specified step.

# 'r' is the Redis object used to perform the queries.
# 'seed' must be different every time you want a test performed
# with a different set. The function guarantees that if 'seed' is the
# same, exactly the same dataset is used, and when it is different,
# a totally unrelated different data set is used (without any common
# element in practice).
