Examples

BloomFilter

A Bloom filter is a space-efficient probabilistic data structure, conceived by Burton Howard Bloom in 1970, that is used to test whether an element is a member of a set. False positive matches are possible, but false negatives are not.

Python

basic usage

from fastbloom_rs import BloomFilter

bloom = BloomFilter(100_000_000, 0.01)

bloom.add_str('hello')
bloom.add_bytes(b'world')
bloom.add_int(9527)

assert bloom.contains('hello')
assert bloom.contains(b'world')
assert bloom.contains(9527)

assert not bloom.contains('hello world')

build bloom filter from bytes or list

from fastbloom_rs import BloomFilter

bloom = BloomFilter(100_000_000, 0.01)
bloom.add_str('hello')
assert bloom.contains('hello')

bloom2 = BloomFilter.from_bytes(bloom.get_bytes(), bloom.hashes())
assert bloom2.contains('hello')

bloom3 = BloomFilter.from_int_array(bloom.get_int_array(), bloom.hashes())
assert bloom3.contains('hello')

there are some bulk api for python to reduce ffi cost between python and rust

bloom = BloomFilter(100_000_000, 0.01)
inserts = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 18, 68, 90, 100]
checks = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 18, 68, 90, 100, 190, 290, 390]
results = [True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True, False, False, False]

bloom.add_int_batch(inserts)
contains = bloom.contains_int_batch(checks)
assert contains == results

bloom.add_str_batch(list(map(lambda x: str(x), inserts)))
assert bloom.contains_str_batch(list(map(lambda x: str(x), checks))) == results

bloom.add_bytes_batch(list(map(lambda x: bytes(x), inserts)))
assert bloom.contains_bytes_batch(list(map(lambda x: bytes(x), checks))) == results

more examples at py_tests.

Rust

use fastbloom_rs::{BloomFilter, FilterBuilder};

let mut bloom = FilterBuilder::new(100_000_000, 0.01).build_bloom_filter();

bloom.add(b"helloworld");
assert_eq!(bloom.contains(b"helloworld"), true);
assert_eq!(bloom.contains(b"helloworld!"), false);

CountingBloomFilter

A Counting Bloom filter works in a similar manner as a regular Bloom filter; however, it is able to keep track of insertions and deletions. In a counting Bloom filter, each entry in the Bloom filter is a small counter associated with a basic Bloom filter bit.

Reference: F. Bonomi, M. Mitzenmacher, R. Panigrahy, S. Singh, and G. Varghese, “An Improved Construction for Counting Bloom Filters,” in 14th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, LNCS 4168, 2006

Python

from fastbloom_rs import CountingBloomFilter

cbf = CountingBloomFilter(1000_000, 0.01)
cbf.add('hello')
cbf.add('hello')
assert 'hello' in cbf
cbf.remove('hello')
assert 'hello' in cbf  # because 'hello' added twice. 
# If add same element larger than 15 times, then remove 15 times the filter will not contain the element.
cbf.remove('hello')
assert 'hello' not in cbf

A CountingBloomFilter has a four bits counter to save hash index, so when insert an element repeatedly, the counter will spill over quickly. So, you can set enable_repeat_insert to False to check whether the element has added. if it has added, it will not add again. enable_repeat_insert default set to True.

from fastbloom_rs import CountingBloomFilter

cbf = CountingBloomFilter(1000_000, 0.01, False)
cbf.add('hello')
cbf.add('hello')  # because enable_repeat_insert=False, this addition will not take effect. 
assert 'hello' in cbf
cbf.remove('hello')
assert 'hello' not in cbf

Rust

use fastbloom_rs::{CountingBloomFilter, FilterBuilder};

let mut builder = FilterBuilder::new(100_000, 0.01);
let mut cbf = builder.build_counting_bloom_filter();
cbf.add(b"helloworld");
assert_eq!(bloom.contains(b"helloworld"), true);
