## bbloom: a bitset Bloom filter for go/golang
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
package implements a fast bloom filter with real 'bitset' and JSONMarshal/JSONUnmarshal to store/reload the Bloom filter.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: the package uses unsafe.Pointer to set and read the bits from the bitset. If you're uncomfortable with using the unsafe package, please consider using my bloom filter package at github.com/AndreasBriese/bloom
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
changelog 11/2015: new thread safe methods AddTS(), HasTS(), AddIfNotHasTS() following a suggestion from Srdjan Marinovic (github @a-little-srdjan), who used this to code a bloomfilter cache.
|
|
|
|
This bloom filter was developed to strengthen a website-log database and was tested and optimized for this log-entry mask: "2014/%02i/%02i %02i:%02i:%02i /info.html".
|
|
Nonetheless bbloom should work with any other form of entries.
|
|
|
|
~~Hash function is a modified Berkeley DB sdbm hash (to optimize for smaller strings). sdbm http://www.cse.yorku.ca/~oz/hash.html~~
|
|
|
|
Found sipHash (SipHash-2-4, a fast short-input PRF created by Jean-Philippe Aumasson and Daniel J. Bernstein.) to be about as fast. sipHash had been ported by Dimtry Chestnyk to Go (github.com/dchest/siphash )
|
|
|
|
Minimum hashset size is: 512 ([4]uint64; will be set automatically).
|
|
|
|
###install
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go get github.com/AndreasBriese/bbloom
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###test
|
|
+ change to folder ../bbloom
|
|
+ create wordlist in file "words.txt" (you might use `python permut.py`)
|
|
+ run 'go test -bench=.' within the folder
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
go test -bench=.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
~~If you've installed the GOCONVEY TDD-framework http://goconvey.co/ you can run the tests automatically.~~
|
|
|
|
using go's testing framework now (have in mind that the op timing is related to 65536 operations of Add, Has, AddIfNotHas respectively)
|
|
|
|
### usage
|
|
|
|
after installation add
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import (
|
|
...
|
|
"github.com/AndreasBriese/bbloom"
|
|
...
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
at your header. In the program use
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// create a bloom filter for 65536 items and 1 % wrong-positive ratio
|
|
bf := bbloom.New(float64(1<<16), float64(0.01))
|
|
|
|
// or
|
|
// create a bloom filter with 650000 for 65536 items and 7 locs per hash explicitly
|
|
// bf = bbloom.New(float64(650000), float64(7))
|
|
// or
|
|
bf = bbloom.New(650000.0, 7.0)
|
|
|
|
// add one item
|
|
bf.Add([]byte("butter"))
|
|
|
|
// Number of elements added is exposed now
|
|
// Note: ElemNum will not be included in JSON export (for compatability to older version)
|
|
nOfElementsInFilter := bf.ElemNum
|
|
|
|
// check if item is in the filter
|
|
isIn := bf.Has([]byte("butter")) // should be true
|
|
isNotIn := bf.Has([]byte("Butter")) // should be false
|
|
|
|
// 'add only if item is new' to the bloomfilter
|
|
added := bf.AddIfNotHas([]byte("butter")) // should be false because 'butter' is already in the set
|
|
added = bf.AddIfNotHas([]byte("buTTer")) // should be true because 'buTTer' is new
|
|
|
|
// thread safe versions for concurrent use: AddTS, HasTS, AddIfNotHasTS
|
|
// add one item
|
|
bf.AddTS([]byte("peanutbutter"))
|
|
// check if item is in the filter
|
|
isIn = bf.HasTS([]byte("peanutbutter")) // should be true
|
|
isNotIn = bf.HasTS([]byte("peanutButter")) // should be false
|
|
// 'add only if item is new' to the bloomfilter
|
|
added = bf.AddIfNotHasTS([]byte("butter")) // should be false because 'peanutbutter' is already in the set
|
|
added = bf.AddIfNotHasTS([]byte("peanutbuTTer")) // should be true because 'penutbuTTer' is new
|
|
|
|
// convert to JSON ([]byte)
|
|
Json := bf.JSONMarshal()
|
|
|
|
// bloomfilters Mutex is exposed for external un-/locking
|
|
// i.e. mutex lock while doing JSON conversion
|
|
bf.Mtx.Lock()
|
|
Json = bf.JSONMarshal()
|
|
bf.Mtx.Unlock()
|
|
|
|
// restore a bloom filter from storage
|
|
bfNew := bbloom.JSONUnmarshal(Json)
|
|
|
|
isInNew := bfNew.Has([]byte("butter")) // should be true
|
|
isNotInNew := bfNew.Has([]byte("Butter")) // should be false
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to work with the bloom filter.

|

### why 'fast'?
|
|
|
|
It's about 3 times faster than William Fitzgeralds bitset bloom filter https://github.com/willf/bloom . And it is about so fast as my []bool set variant for Boom filters (see https://github.com/AndreasBriese/bloom ) but having a 8times smaller memory footprint:

With 32bit bloom filters (bloom32) using modified sdbm, bloom32 does hashing with only 2 bit shifts, one xor and one substraction per byte. smdb is about as fast as fnv64a but gives less collisions with the dataset (see mask above). bloom.New(float64(10 * 1<<16),float64(7)) populated with 1<<16 random items from the dataset (see above) and tested against the rest results in less than 0.05% collisions.
