  • Constructing and querying a bloom filter to detect the absence of data from one or more endpoints
    Patent number: 10394820
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes constructing an overall Bloom filter representing a set of legal parameter values of a plurality of parameters useable for querying one or more endpoints. In the overall Bloom filter, each parameter of the plurality of parameters is offset based on a respective unique identifier of the parameter. A first set of desired parameter values is determined corresponding to first desired data to be retrieved from a first endpoint of the one or more endpoints. Using a computer processor, a first query Bloom filter is constructed representing the first set of desired parameter values. A first Bloom filter search is performed of the first query Bloom filter against the overall Bloom filter. Responsive to not finding a match through the first Bloom filter search, it is opted not to query the first endpoint with the first set of desired parameter values.
