Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1555:
-------------------------------------------
EWAH looks interesting. Would be interesting to see what that does for our BF.
(More generally I suspect that degrading BF FP rate for extremely skinny rows
can actually be the right thing to do.)
> Considerations for larger bloom filters
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-1555
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1555
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Stu Hood
> Fix For: 0.8
>
>
> To (optimally) support SSTables larger than 143 million keys, we need to
> support bloom filters larger than 2 GB, which java.util.BitSet can't handle
> directly.
> A few options:
> * Switch to a BitSet class which supports 2^63 bits (Lucene's OpenBitSet)
> * Partition the java.util.BitSet behind our current BloomFilter
> ** Straightforward bit partitioning: bit N is in bitset N // 2^31
> ** Separate equally sized complete bloom filters for member ranges, which can
> be used independently or OR'd together under memory pressure.
> All of these options require new approaches to serialization.
