+ Bloom filters can be enabled on a per-column family basis in HBase. By specifying true for the bloom filter parameter in the constructor for HColumnDescriptor or by calling HColumnDescriptor.setBloomFilter(true), a bloom filter 
- Bloom filters can be enabled on a per-column family basis in Hbase. 
- There are four bloom filter variants supported:
