Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a file system process reading a first node in a tree data structure from a first memory. The first node includes a first approximate membership query data structure ('AMQ'), a first plurality of child pointers, a first plurality of pivot values, and a first buffer. The file system process determines that the first plurality of child pointers exceeds a maximum size. Using a pivot value in the first plurality of pivot values, the file system process splits the first node into a second node and a third node. The file system process uses the pivot value to split the first buffer into a second buffer and a third buffer. Using the pivot value and the first AMQ, the file system process generates a second AMQ and a third AMQ.
