Bloomfilter isnt resistent to system failure

Open chrislessard opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

If the system crashes, there isn't a good way of backing up the bloom filter. Because it is checked to see if values are on disk, this could lead to a situation where the recovered DB instance incorrectly reports that keys aren't stored.

A backup of the bloom filter should be saved whenever the memtable is flushed to disk.
