Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to perform container reclamation using probabilistic data structures. A hash value associated with a data segment and stored in a data container is received. Elements in a probabilistic data structure are identified using one or more portions of the hash value and element values are determined for each element. In response to a determination that the element values indicate that the segment object should be maintained, the segment object is maintained during compaction of the data container.
