bq. 1) We can have some sorting of bloom-filters based on logic like the bloom 
filter of the sstable which resulted into successfully serving the read request 
will have higher priority over other bloom filters. I mean we will go for the 
bloom filter of the sstable which is most recently accessed and which 
successfully returned the requested columns.(MRU approach, As the probability 
of getting result from MRU sstable is greater).This way we can reduce the disk 
access.

Row-level BFs are in memory, so there is no disk access except for the case of 
false positives.  It doesn't sound like your access pattern involves asking for 
non-existent keys, however.

bq. 2) The point is we should have some sort of logic for sorting of bloom 
filters to boost the read performance in case where sstables are not yet 
compacted.

I don't see any logical way of sorting BFs, but as I said, there is no disk 
access.

 Key: CASSANDRA-4258
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4258
 Project: Cassandra
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.1.1
Reporter: Samarth Gahire
Assignee: Jonathan Ellis
Priority: Minor
  Labels: bloom-filter, read
 Fix For: 1.1.1

   Original Estimate: 336h
  Remaining Estimate: 336h

 I was just wondering if there is any logic for which bloom filter should be 
 checked first to increase the probability of getting the result and not just 
 minimizing the probability of false positive.
 ( *Note:* I have checked into the code and I am not talking about *Getting 
 BloomFilter with the lowest practical false positive probability* OR 
 *Getting smallest BloomFilter that can provide the given false positive 
 probability rate for the given number of elements.* )
 *Consider following Scenario:*
 1) In our Cassandra Cluster we are inserting 130 millions of rows on daily 
 basis for single column family and practically we cant keep this data 
 compacted always.(As the loading time is much and compaction may take too 
 much time that could affect the schedule for loading of data for next day )
 2) We are inserting same rowkeys(values of all the 130 millions rows are 
 same) everyday with different supercolumn.
 {code}
 For date 20120101 we have
 super_CF= {row_1:{_super_column_20120101:{ col1 : val1, col2 : val2 }}
row_2:{_super_column_20120101:{ col1 : val3, col2 : val4 }}
row_3:{_super_column_20120101:{ col1 : val5, col2 : val6 }}
 } 
 and For date 20120102 it will be like
 super_CF= {row_1:{_super_column_20120102:{ col1 : val7, col2 : val8 }}
row_2:{_super_column_20120102:{ col1 : val9, col2 : val10 }}
row_3:{_super_column_20120102:{ col1 : val11, col2 : val12 }}
 } 
 Note that set of rowkeys is same for all the days only supercolumn changes
 {code}
 3) So if we do not compact the data say for 30 days, each row key is present 
 in 30 different sstables.
 4) So in worst case, even with 0 probability of false positive, there could 
 be 30 unnecessary disk accesses.
 5) Because of this scenario we are experiencing extremely degraded read 
 performance. 
 *Proposed solution:*
 1) We can have some sorting of bloom-filters based on logic like the bloom 
 filter of the sstable which resulted into successfully serving the read 
 request will have higher priority over other bloom filters.
 I mean we will go for the bloom filter of the sstable which is most recently 
 accessed and which successfully returned the requested columns.(MRU approach, 
 As the probability of getting result from MRU sstable is greater).This way we

 2) The point is we should have some sort of logic for sorting of bloom 
 filters to boost the read performance in case where sstables are not yet 
 compacted.

Please try to understand the scenario I am talking about. Even if it is not a 
false positive in this scenario there will be a disk access, a row key will be 
there in sstable but not the super column we are looking for. So this will be 
unnecessary disk access.
e.g. one row having content in all the sstables . might be in case of 
super-column OR simple columns
In such cases deciding on correct bloom filter will certainly save some disk 
access and improve on read performance.
