[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-790) SSTables limited to (2^31)/15 keys

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-790?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12833212#action_12833212 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-790:
------------------------------------------

rather than just cap the filter size, you need to reduce bucketsPerElement too or you will get suboptimal number-of-hashes calculation, since you haven't told it it can't have as big a filter as it wanted.

> The current BloomFilter implementation requires a BitSet of (bucket_count * num_keys) in size, and that calculation is currently performed in an integer, which causes overflow for around 140 million keys in one SSTable.
> Short term fix: perform the calculation in a long, and cap the value to the maximum size of a BitSet.
> Long term fix: begin partitioning BitSets, perhaps using Linear Bloom Filters.
