Feature request: May we have the feature to make the filter serializable ?

[purplepapa]

Hi Jeff,

We need to persist it it to local storage or work with redis , could it be possible to add such feature?
There is some reference projects as follows:
1.https://github.com/Baqend/Orestes-Bloomfilter for redis
2.https://github.com/Cue/greplin-bloom-filter for file storage

Best regards,
Kevin Wen

No, that is outside the scope of this demo. Just write your own to do whatever.

(However, I would argue that putting this in redis is an incredibly bad idea since it will be full of race conditions. It will never work like you think it should.)

Thanks anyway.

Hi, you are wrong about Redis. It is absolutely possible to do this in a thread-safe and consistent manner, as can be seen in our Bloom filter implementation. Commutativity, atomic MULTI blocks and optimistic locking in Redis make this perfectly possible.
