[jira] Commented: (HBASE-1246) BloomFilter's use of BitSet is too inefficient

["Jean-Daniel Cryans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Jean-Daniel Cryans commented on HBASE-1246:
-------------------------------------------

We don't use Bloom Filters at the moment, can we close this?

> From the logfile run of TestBloomFilter with special SizeOf agent jar:
> Writing bloom filter for: hdfs://localhost:64003/user/ryan/testComputedParameters/1278366260/contents/6159869037185296839 for size: 100
> 2009-03-06 01:54:25,491 DEBUG [RegionServer:0.cacheFlusher] regionserver.StoreFile$StoreFileWriter(319): New bloom filter: vectorSize: 1175 hash_count: 5 numKeys: 100
> Serialized bloomfilter size: 160
> In memory bf size: 1248
> As we can see, the bit vector is 1175 bits, and the serialized size is fairly compact - 160 bytes.
> But the in-memory size is nearly 10x bigger than it has to be.  Looking in BloomFilter we see:
>   BitSet bits;
> is the only field.
> Clearly it seems the BitSet is using 1 byte = 1 bit.  That is an 8 time expansion of where we should be.
> Considering every HFile could potentially have a bloom filter, and bloom filters are more likely to have bit vector sizes of 10,000-100,000, we should do something about this.  Aka: write our own bit-set that uses byte[] and bit ops.
