bloom-redis
Advanced tools
A bloom filter for node backed by redis.
To install, use npm and run npm install bloom-redis
.
Like mongoose, bloom-redis allows you to specify a single redis client for your filters to connect to. Alternatively, you can give a client to each filter instance.
To use a single redis client, use the bloom.connect
call as shown below:
var redis = require('redis'),
bloom = require('bloom-redis');
var client = redis.createClient();
bloom.connect(client);
filter = new bloom.BloomFilter({ key : 'mykey' });
You may also pass in the client to the filter explicitly
filter = new bloom.BloomFilter({ client : otherClient,
key : 'otherKey' });
Filters take the following options:
connect
or explicit passfilter.add(string, [callback]);
filter.contains(string, callback);
filter.clear([callback]);
Currently md5
is used as the hash function and is seeded with different values. It has good collision resistancy against a random dataset. However, it generates far more bits than we actually need, and may not be as fast as other hash functions.
