Abstract
Techniques to perform segment index lookups are disclosed. In various embodiments, for each of one or more segment index entries included in a first on disk segment index a corresponding set of values is stored in a bloom filter. The bloom filter is used to determine prior to performing an on disk segment lookup of the segment index with respect to a given segment whether each location in the bloom filter that is associated with the given segment has been set to said corresponding set of values. An on disk lookup is performed in parallel of a second on disk segment index that is not included in said subset of on disk segment indexes each of which has associated therewith a corresponding bloom filter.
