 ==== Bloom Filter Data (ID: {'B', 'D', 'A', 'T'}) [Optional]
     * It starts with header consisting of three unsigned 32-bit integers:
-      - Version of the hash algorithm being used. We currently only support
-	value 1 which corresponds to the 32-bit version of the murmur3 hash

       - The number of times a path is hashed and hence the number of bit positions
