+// This object is responsible for creating a small filter from a set
+// of keys.  These filters are stored in leveldb and are consulted
+// automatically by leveldb to decide whether or not to read some
+// information from disk. In many cases, a filter can cut down the
+// number of disk seeks form a handful to a single disk seek per
+// DB::Get() call.
+//
+// Most people will want to use the builtin bloom filter support (see
+// NewBloomFilterPolicy() below).
