as well. Thanks.
> BloomMapFile - fail-fast version of MapFile for sparsely populated key space

> The need for this improvement arose when working with large ancillary
> MapFile-s (essentially used as external dictionaries). For each invokation of
> map() / reduce() it was necessary to perform several look-ups in these
> MapFile-s, and in case of sparsely populated key-space the cost of finding
> that a key is absent was too high.
> This patch implements a subclass of MapFile that creates a Bloom filter from
> all keys, so that accurate tests for absence of keys can be performed quickly
> and with 100% accuracy.
> Writer.append() operations update a DynamicBloomFilter, which is then
> serialized when the Writer is closed. This filter is loaded in memory when a
> Reader is created. Reader.get() operation first checks the filter for the key
> membership, and if the key is absent it immediately returns null without
> doing any further IO.
