Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-1555:
---------------------------------------------

Even if we should probably have a way to support big BF, it would still be nice 
to be able to 
configure the BF FP rate. 2+GB for BFs can start to be an heavy weight on your 
memory. 
For some loads, it could be better to actually keep your memory for row cache 
for instance.

> To (optimally) support SSTables larger than 143 million keys, we need to 
> support bloom filters larger than 2 GB, which java.util.BitSet can't handle 
> directly.
> A few options:
> * Switch to a BitSet class which supports 2^63 bits (Lucene's OpenBitSet)
> * Partition the java.util.BitSet behind our current BloomFilter
> ** Straightforward bit partitioning: bit N is in bitset N // 2^31
> ** Separate equally sized complete bloom filters for member ranges, which can 
> be used independently or OR'd together under memory pressure.
> All of these options require new approaches to serialization.
