Prefix Filter: Practically and Theoretically Better Than Bloom
Summary: Introduces Prefix Filter, an incremental AMQ structure combining dynamic-filter space efficiency with Bloom-like simplicity and consistently fast queries/inserts. Rigorous practical-size analysis covers failure, false positives, and cache-line accesses; builds 1.39–3.5× faster than competitors. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
