  • Method Details

    • query

      public boolean query(String word)
      The query function takes in a word and returns whether the word is contained within the Bloom Filter. If it is, then we add it to our cache of recently used words (cLRU). If it isn't, then we add it to our cache of frequently used words (cLFU). This way, if a user searches for a word that isn't in the Bloom Filter but has been searched for before by other users, they will be notified that this particular word was not found. However, if they search for something that's never been searched before, it adds to the necessary CacheManager.
      Parameters:
      word - String Check if the word is in the cache
      Returns:
      True if the word is in the LRU or in the BloomFilter and false otherwise.

      Returns:
      A boolean
