Bloom Filter

This JavaScript bloom filter implementation uses the non-cryptographic FowlerNollVo hash function for speed.

Although the bloom filter requires n hash functions, we can simulate this using only two hash functions. In fact, we cheat and get the second hash function almost for free by iterating once more on the first hash using the FNV hash algorithm.

Thanks to Will Fitzgerald for his help and inspiration with the hashing optimisation.
