Bloom filter implementation in Python with json serialization/deserialization wrappers for easy interfacing with MongoDB.

Note 1: In the below readme, I refer to each Bloom filter as the haystack and the key to be inserted as the pin.

Note 2: Whatever DB you use should included a collection called bloom

There are two interfaces to the library:

Usage: python bloom-batch.py <events_file> where events_file should be a csv with each line of the form: haystackID, pin

The environment variables you can change to configure this script are:

• DB_HOST
• DB_PORT

Usage: The two web services provided are:

• exists/haystackID,pin
• add/haystackID,pin

Can easily be called like http://localhost:8888/add/55488b38f405c70300efceb2,powpow

The API will maintain the log in a file called bloom.log.

Things configurable through environment variables:

• DB_HOST
• DB_PORT
• DB_NAME
• BLOOMAPI_PORT
• BLOOMAPI_ADDR

• mmh3
• bitarray
• tornado

Unit tests are available in the Tests folder and can be run like: python -m unittest Tests.test_name
