Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-6633:
-------------------------------------------

bq. separate address spaces for each hash function

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Bloom filters save space by combining hashes in a single bucket space, so I don't see how you can add separate spaces to that and still have a BF.

> Dynamic resizing would be useful. The simplest way to achieve this is to have separate address spaces for each hash function, so that we may increase/decrease accuracy by simply loading/unloading another function (we could even do interesting stuff in future like alternating the functions we select if we find we're getting more false positives than should be expected);
> Faster loading/unloading would help this, and we could achieve this by mmapping the bloom filter representation on systems that we can mlock.
