Bloom filter for go, backed by redis

Bloom Filters for Golang

Bloom filter for go, backed by redis or in process bitset

If you are not familiar with how Bloom filters work and their usefulness, please read.

Example Usage (in process):

install with

go get gopkg.in/bculberson/bloom.v2

go import ( "gopkg.in/bculberson/bloom.v2" )

This bloom filter is initialized to hold 1000 keys and will have a false positive rate of 1% (.01).

m, k := bloom.EstimateParameters(1000, .01)
b := bloom.New(m, k, bloom.NewBitSet(m))
b.Add([]byte("some key"))
exists, _ := b.Exists([]byte("some key"))
doesNotExist, _ := b.Exists([]byte("some other key"))

Example Usage (redis backed):

This bloom filter is initialized to hold 1000 keys and will have a false positive rate of 1% (.01).

This library uses http://github.com/garyburd/redigo/redis

pool := &redis.Pool{
    MaxIdle:     3,
    IdleTimeout: 240 * time.Second,
    Dial:        func() (redis.Conn, error) { return redis.Dial("tcp", addr) },
}


conn := pool.Get()
m, k := bloom.EstimateParameters(1000, .01)
bitSet := bloom.NewRedisBitSet("test_key", m, conn)
b := bloom.New(m, k, bitSet)
b.Add([]byte("some key"))
exists, _ := b.Exists([]byte("some key"))
doesNotExist, _ := b.Exists([]byte("some other key"))
