Well, maybe "index block" isn't the correct threshold to make this decision
at... I'll do some testing.
I marked this as a critical improvement because for 5 columns, I saw > 25%
improvement in compaction speed and disk usage.

> All rows currently contain a serialized BloomFilter, regardless of size. For
> smaller rows, it is much more efficient in space and CPU time to not write a
> BloomFilter, and to eagerly perform lookups against the existing columns.
