Merges several sketches into one sketch. All sketches must have identical width and depth. Weights can be used to multiply certain sketches. Default weight is 1. 

### Parameters:

* **dest**: The name of destination sketch. Must be initialized. 
* **numKeys**: Number of sketches to be merged.
* **src**: Names of source sketches to be merged.
* **weight**: Multiple of each sketch. Default =1.

## Examples

```
redis> CMS.MERGE dest 2 test1 test2 WEIGHTS 1 3
OK
