Sigh... but better late than never, right?Yes, indeed. I think that there is a balance here: I'm thrilled that you are choosing to spend your time working on and improving the changed-path Bloom filter implementation. Of course, it couldn't have hurt to have these ideas earlier when the list was more focused on reviewing Garima's original patches. But, nothing is set in stone, and it seems like there are some re-usable ideas and clean-ups below.
Yes, I had the same impression as you did, unlike some folks who sounded as if they felt offended seeing a comment that sabotages existing work. It could have been presented in a more useful ways (i.e. instead of risking to appear suggesting total replacement, which I do not think was the intention, massaged to build on top of what is already there as improvements), though.
I think you're right to draw the "laying the ground work" line here. Could these first fourteen patches be applied cleanly to master? They all look mostly like improvements to me, especially the second patch.
Again, I concur. Thanks.
