          Yes, you can do that with BITOP and BITCOUNT commands.



          In order to calculate the Hamming Distance, you can XOR two given entries, and count the number of 1s in the result.



          // The first entry: 10000001
          SETBIT k1 0 1
          SETBIT k1 7 1
          // The second entry: 00000010
          SETBIT k2 6 1

          // first entry XOR second entry: 10000011
          BITOP XOR result k1 k2
          // count the number of 1s in the result, i.e. the Hamming Distance between the two entries: 3
          BITCOUNT result
