--------------------------------------
I think that's fair. I'll rework the patch.

> To (optimally) support SSTables larger than 143 million keys, we need to
> support bloom filters larger than 2^31 bits, which java.util.BitSet can't
> handle directly.
> A few options:
> * Switch to a BitSet class which supports 2^31 * 64 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.
