A 100GB bloom filter? What does that mean? How many hash functions.. how many bits?
1 comments

I would guess that a 100GB bloom filter would have 800 gigabits.

You can make some guesses, with 7 hashes and a false probability of 1%, a bloom filter designed on a cardinality of 100 billion elements is a little over 100GB.
