Abstract
Systems and techniques for reducing probabilistic filter query latency are described herein. A query for a probabilistic filter that is stored on a first media may be received from a caller. In response to receiving the query, cached segments of the probabilistic filter stored on a second media may be obtained. Here, the probabilistic filter provides a set membership determination that is conclusive in a determination that an element is not in a set. The query may be executed on the cached segments resulting in a partial query result. Retrieval of remaining data of the probabilistic filter from the first media to the second media may be initiated without intervention from the caller. Here, the remaining data corresponds to the query and data that is not in the cached segment. The partial query results may then be returned to the caller.
