+ * The Membership Library is an extension and generalization of a traditional

+ * multiple usages in a variety of workloads and applications. The library is
+ * used to test if a key belongs to certain sets. Two types of such
+ * "set-summary" structures are implemented: hash-table based (HT) and vector
+ * bloom filter (vBF). For HT setsummary, two subtypes or modes are available,
+ * cache and non-cache modes. The table below summarize some properties of
+ * the different implementations.
