Bloom Filter

status: experimental

  • since 0.13
type 'a sequence = ('a -> unit) -> unit
type 'a gen = unit -> 'a option
type 'a hash_funs = ('a -> int) array

An array of k hash functions on values of type 'a. Never ever modify such an array after use!

val default_hash_funs : int -> 'a hash_funs

Use Hashtbl.seeded_hash on k seeds

  • parameter k

    the number of hash functions required

Bloom Filter

type 'a t

Bloom filter containing values of type 'a

val create : ?hash:'a hash_funs -> int -> 'a t

create ?hash size creates a filter with given size, and functions. By default it uses default_hash_funs

  • parameter size

    a hint for size

val create_default : ?hash_len:int -> int -> 'a t

create_default ?hash_len size is the same as create ~hash:(default_hash_funs hash_len) size. It uses the given number of default hash functions.

  • parameter size

    a hint for size

val copy : 'a t -> 'a t

Copy of the filter

val size : _ t -> int

Length of the underlying array. Do not confuse with a cardinal function, which is impossible to write for bloom filters

val load : _ t -> float

Ratio of 1 bits in the underlying array. The closer to 1., the less accurate mem is

val mem : 'a t -> 'a -> bool

mem f x tests whether x (probably) belongs to f

val add : 'a t -> 'a -> unit

add f x adds x into f

val union_mut : into:'a t -> 'a t -> unit

union_mut ~into f changes into into the union of into and f. into and f MUST have the same set of hash functions

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the two sets do not have the same size

val union : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

The sets MUST have the same set of hash functions

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the two sets do not have the same size

val inter_mut : into:'a t -> 'a t -> unit

inter_mut ~into f changes into into the intersection of into and f into and f MUST have the same set of hash functions

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the two sets do not have the same size

val inter : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

The sets MUST have the same set of hash functions

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the two sets do not have the same size
