A centralized database management system performs data synchronization with lower bandwidth consumption and higher efficiency using a resizable invertible bloom filter. The system may include a resizable invertible bloom filter module that constructs and maintains invertible bloom filters that are resizable based on a number of differences between different snapshots. The resizable invertible bloom filter module may maintain a list of possible sizes for a resizable invertible bloom filter. The resizable invertible bloom filter module may determine and maintain a list of applicable partition sizes, each partition size being a product of a divisor and a resizing factor. If the number of differences exceeds the number of expected differences and results in failure in decoding, the system may retry a larger size in a set of predetermined sizes. The system may continue to try larger sizes until a minimal size required for successful decoding is found.
