Bloom Filter Cascades

Definition

Bloom filter cascades represent a sequence of Bloom filters arranged to improve query efficiency and reduce false positive rates in data retrieval. Each filter in the cascade refines the search by applying additional filtering stages to data that passed previous checks. This layered approach allows for more precise identification of elements within large datasets while maintaining memory efficiency. Such structures are particularly useful in distributed systems for verifying data existence without storing all data locally.
