I have what is currently a series of 4 blogs that introduce the new Bloom
filter implementations and framework in Commons Collections.  I have a
couple more in mind, they discuss what Bloom filters are and how the
Commons Collections implements them, provides extension points, and how to
implement some exotic flavors.  In fact I have an implementation for a
Kafka PID tracking problem (KIP-936) that uses layered Bloom filters to
track PIDs in a time window while handling bursty traffic and not exceeding
the desired false positive rate.

So these are rather technical posts, they could be transformed into pages
in documentation, but what I really want to do is get attention on the tool
from developers of other projects, to let them know the tools exist.  I
think that if the ASF had a technical blog we could be promoting our
projects to the wider development world.  I can think of other projects
that could have rather interesting blogs.  For example, a discussion of
Cassandra's new Accord consensus protocol could help other ASF projects
working on consensus issues.  Kafka too has a consensus protocol they are
working on.

Is there any interest in a technical blog that focus on the solutions to
technical problems within a project rather than the higher level technical
problems solved by the project.  So not that Cassandra has a solution to a
distributed database problem, but Cassandra solved the consensus problem
this way; not Kafka solves the data streaming problem, but Kafka solved the
consensus problem this way. (OK, too much consensus, but you see what I
mean).
