MultiIndex bloom filters are like counting bloom filters but do store values rather than counts. Unlike Bloomier filters, they do not use perfect hashing. More space efficient depending on k used than a hash table but may not be an ideal data-structure for 1 to many classifications because of value storage redundancy.
