Its currently an option in hbase but little excercised (to the best of
my knowledge) and there is currently one issue regards their operation
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-922).
Maybe you can figure the issue? Otherwise, chatting with others, we're
thinking that in next rev. of our store file format, they should just be
on by default. See here for some notes on new file format:

I just read that Bigtable's use of Bloom Filters for lookup resulted

of Bloom filter?
If not, I am willing to look at it.
