When running bloom_test on big endian machines it fails due to unacceptable false positive rate. I've looked into the issue and it seems that the reason for that is that it passes a different input than when it runs on little endian. When transforming the input to be little endian it behaves as expected.
This issue holds up inclusion of ceph to debian due to ceph's use of leveldb. The fix can be to bump up the acceptable false positives, e.g.,:
diff --git a/util/bloom_test.cc b/util/bloom_test.cc
index 4a6ea1b..61323af 100644
--- a/util/bloom_test.cc
+++ b/util/bloom_test.cc
@@ -139,7 +139,7 @@ TEST(BloomTest, VaryingLengths) {
fprintf(stderr, "False positives: %5.2f%% @ length = %6d ; bytes = %6d\n",
rate*100.0, length, static_cast<int>(FilterSize()));
}
- ASSERT_LE(rate, 0.02); // Must not be over 2%
+ ASSERT_LE(rate, 0.03); // Must not be over 2%
if (rate > 0.0125) mediocre_filters++; // Allowed, but not too often
else good_filters++;
}
Or maybe translating the input:
