Where does Apache Cassandra store bloom filters?
@rb2017houser_184626 Each SSTable file has an associated bloom filter component file with the suffix *-Filter.db. When an SSTable is opened at startup, the bloom filter data structure is held in off-heap memory and gets read as part of the Cassandra read path.
Each table's bloom filter size (in memory) is configurable by setting the bloom_filter_fp_chance property in the table's schema.
For more info, see the following documents:
Cheers!
