Clark Jefcoat commented on HADOOP-6546:
---------------------------------------
The issue is with the call
{{
bloomKey.set(buf.getData(), 1.0);
}}
which appears twice in the BloomMapFile source. The buf variable is a
DataOutputBuffer. The documentation for DataOutputBuffer clearly states that
getData() is only valid to getLength(). But bloomKey is an
o.a.h.util.bloom.Key which expects the entire array that it is getting to be
valid.

> BloomMapFile can return false negatives when using keys of varying sizes. If
