This is clever. At the time we needed this machine anyway (this is way before "Cloud computing" was really a thing) but a few years earlier it would have been a good choice.

We actually had most of the bloom filter code you'd need because we used a lot of Bloom Filters in that project. One of the very common queries that system had was "Hey do we know about random thing X?" for which the answer would often (but not always) be "No". So Bloom Filters enabled the system to be able to say definitively "Nope, I know nothing about X" a good fraction of the time without any further work. This actually hurt us in some third party benchmarks we ran for boasting, but helped in our real use case.
