Detailed Description

This file is part of the CernVM File System.

HashFilters are a container classes that get initialized with a number of hashes. Later they can serve queries for other hashes and decide if they are contained in the filter or not. Abstract base class of a HashFilter to define the common interface.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool AbstractHashFilter::Contains ( const shash::Any hash) const
pure virtual

Decides if a presented hash is in the filter or not Depending on the concrete implementation of this method it could be a prob- abilistic answer. However, implementations should ensure a recall rate of 100%, say: never produce false negatives.

Parameters
hashthe hash to be queried
Returns
true if the hash is (probably) contained in the set false if it is definitely not in the set

Implemented in SmallhashFilter, and SimpleHashFilter.

virtual size_t AbstractHashFilter::Count ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the number of objects already inserted into the filter.

Returns
number of objects in the filter

Implemented in SmallhashFilter, and SimpleHashFilter.

virtual void AbstractHashFilter::Fill ( const shash::Any hash)
pure virtual

Adds the given hash to the filter

Parameters
hashthe hash to be added to the HashFilter

Implemented in SmallhashFilter, and SimpleHashFilter.

virtual void AbstractHashFilter::Freeze ( )
inlinevirtual

Freezes the filter after filling it with all values. This is not necessary but could be used for certain optimizations depending on the implementation of the AbstractHashFilter. Note: After Freeze() has been called, Fill() should fail!

Reimplemented in SmallhashFilter, and SimpleHashFilter.
