Chucky: A Succinct Cuckoo Filter for LSM-Tree

Summary: Chucky replaces Bloom filters in LSM-trees with a single Cuckoo filter mapping entries to LSM addresses, reducing memory accesses. To offset FP from address bits, it uses information-theoretic encoding to keep large fingerprints and low FPR at cost. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
