Bloom Filter Datatype for Redis

ReBloom - Bloom Filter Module for Redis

This module provides a scalable bloom filter as a Redis data type. Bloom filters are probabilistic data structures that do a very good job of quickly determining if something is contained within a set.

Quick Start Guide

1. Launch ReBloom with Docker
2. Use Rebloom with redis-cli

Note: You can also build and load the module yourself.

You can find a command reference in Commands.md

1. Launch ReBloom with Docker

docker run -p 6379:6379 --name redis-rebloom redislabs/rebloom:latest

2. Use ReBloom with redis-cli

docker exec -it redis-rebloom bash

# redis-cli
# 127.0.0.1:6379> 

Start a new bloom filter by adding a new item

# 127.0.0.1:6379> BF.ADD newFilter foo
(integer) 1

Checking if an item exists in the filter

# 127.0.0.1:6379> BF.EXISTS newFilter foo
(integer) 1
