    This was a great article. Going over to the Wikipedia site and over the mathematics behind the Bloom filters is very enlightening, and I would recommend that to everyone, because you get an idea of how many items you need in order to fill this Bloom filter and make false positives very probable

    Another problem is that we have a state here. When we delete an user, we need to make sure to update bloom filter accordingly and it can get quite messy quickly, because each bucket represents a cluster of users not only one so then you also need to synchronized that, somehow.

    • @pran7119
      @pran7119 Рік тому +2

      If each bucket stores count then this can be solved, but updates has to be synchronized. So I think if you create list of AtomicInteger then this would solve this problem in java

    - Bloom and Cuckoo filters utilizes multiple hash functions 00:08:06

  • @尼安德鲁-n6j

    I don't get how this could be useful after 64 usernames. Also, where is the bloom data stored? Redis?

    • @hnasr
      @hnasr  4 роки тому +7

      Remember the 64 bits will not be necessarily filled after 64 user names.
      User 1 could hash to bit 17
      User 2 could hash to bit 60
      User 3 could hash to bit 17 again
      User 4 could also hash to bit 17 and so on ..
      The 64 bits can be stored in redis or in memory of the server.
      Another example , we have a possible 365 birthdays only right? If you brought random 365 people will all of them have unique birthdays? No of course most of them will be born on the same day.

    • @CharlieArehart1
      @CharlieArehart1 4 роки тому +2

      Saurabh, your first question is understandable, but listen again at 7:03. The key is: the bloom filter will only track if a given string, once hashed and mod'ed, does or does not resolve to one of those 64 slots. If it does not, then it gives that as quick confirmation.

    good explanation. I have a good question. Given in todays world, we have multiple servers behind a load balancer writing into db,
    how will a write of name="Bob" appear itself in other peer servers. They should through some event notification mechanism, other wise, when the second server (who did not serve the write request of "Bob") gets a query for Bob, its boom filter will say "Bob does not exist.
    In other words how can we have a bloom filter that is global to all the underlying servers behind a LB?

    Do bloom filters effectively delay when you will have to do a hard check every time then? Just thinking about when most or all of the bits are set, then its not doing anything basically for the operation anymore.

      You have multiple solutions ..
      when you have more than one service you can store the bloom filter in the :
      1) reverse proxy it self
      2) Or in each server
      3) or in a centralized cache (redis or memcachd)
      All these have pros and cons best one is 1) in my opinion as you suggested

    Thank you this is the first time to hear about this. But I'm wondering if we speak of systems with thousands of usernames, wouldn't this become useless so fast as this 64 bits array will be filled so quickly even if we double that array size we still eventually going to fill it and now it's more of overhead than it helps?

    • @hnasr
      @hnasr  4 роки тому +4

      Marsilinou Zaky correct the 64bit was just an example, with large systems you will probably need something bigger than 64bit. And this is where the challenge lie. How do you know how big should you make the bloom filter? Too big than its just cache, too small than as you said its useless.. you need trial and error
      Good points!

    Bloom filter as you mentioned, when hash values for both Jack and Paul are 63. The first is being stored in database and when a collision happen, you retrive it from DB.
    So to detect duplicate text from a dataset, I feel we can use bloom filters itself.
