             Summary: BloomFilter: Drop mergeInPlace
                 Key: COLLECTIONS-829
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-829
             Project: Commons Collections
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Collection
            Reporter: Claude Warren
             Fix For: 4.5


It is confusing with merge being present as well. A user can always copy a 
filter and do a merge to a new copy. Currently the merge to a copy has a return 
statement of the mergeInPlace that is being ignored. So you may return a copy 
that has not been correctly merged. This is not possible with the current 
implementations except the ArrayCountingBloomFilter which can return false if 
the state is invalid after merge.
