= Bloom filter =
|
|
|
|
A bloom filter is a space efficient data structure that can test if an element
|
|
is part of a set. *false positives are possible*, however false negatives are
|
|
not. Meaning it can return,
|
|
|
|
* Possibly in the set
|
|
* Definitly not in the set
|
|
|
|
== Implementation ==
|
|
|
|
* Simple [[hash_table]] set
|
|
* but for some set of hash functions, ALL values of those hash functions are
|
|
selected in the table (table of bits?)
|
|
* When entry is given, if ALL values that the set of hash functions give are
|
|
filled, then value may exist
|
|
* If not, it defintily does not exist
