Zusammenfassung: | The various implementations described herein include systems, methods and/or devices used to avoid false negative results in Bloom filters implemented in non-volatile data storage systems. In one aspect, if an element is added to a Bloom filter using k hash functions, instead of requiring all k bits to be set before returning a positive result (e.g., indicating that the element is most likely present in the Bloom filter), the embodiments described herein return a positive result when at least k minus x (k−x) bit positions are set in the Bloom filter, where x is an integer greater than zero and less than k. In some embodiments, additional measures to avoid false negatives include performing a read check immediately after setting the k bits in the Bloom filter and/or using a conservative reading threshold voltage. |
