We are exploring ways to keep bitcask's overall performance profile
while relaxing the memory requirement a bit, though we have not yet
determined how to do so.

Bloom filters can be incredibly handy, but wouldn't (alone) solve this
problem as we use the in-memory hash table to tell bitcask the
location of the stored value in terms of file and offset.
