Right.

Ok, sounds good. Cant we use bloom filters for the case where the hash
table doesnt fit in memory? Specifically, when reading from disk is
inevitable for accessing the hash table, we can use bloom filters for
deciding which keys to actually read from disk.Thus ,we save I/O costs
which we would have incurred when reading the keys which are not the
ones we want and bloom filter gives us a negative.
