Cuckoo Filter: Practically better than Bloom filter implemented in Go

In plain words

Cuckoo Filter is a Go implementation of a probabilistic data structure used for membership testing. It determines whether an item exists in a set with minimal memory overhead, similar to a Bloom filter but with practical performance improvements. Developers and engineers working with large datasets or systems requiring efficient duplicate detection or set membership queries would find this tool useful. The implementation prioritizes practical performance benefits over traditional Bloom filter approaches.

  BloomSearch – Keyword search with hierarchical Bloom filters2025 · github.com · ▲66

  Hey HN! I got nerd-sniped by Bloom Filters this weekend, specifically for searching datasets with high "cardinality" (number of unique items). They're an _amazing_ data structure that, at a fixed size, tracks potential set membership. That means unlike normal b-tree indexes, they don't grow with the number of unique items in the dataset. This makes them great for "needle in a haystack" search (logs, document) as implementations like VictoriaMetrics and Bing's BitFunnel show. I've used them in the past, but they've never been center-stage in my projects. I wanted high cardinality keyword…
