I would love if they open-sourced their infrastructure tools such as GFS, BigTable and Map-Reduce tools. Most of these tools are built using open-source technology such as Linux.
- stanleydrew 17y agoApache's Hadoop (http://hadoop.apache.org/ http://hadoop.apache.org/) has open-sourced implementations of those tools.
- iamelgringo 17y agoYahoo was the company that opensourced hadoop, not google.
- stanleydrew 17y agoNever said it was Google, just pointing out that open-source implementations exist.
- mbreese 17y agoI'd be interested to see some benchmarks (unofficial-probably) between Hadoop and Google's C++ versions (at least, I assume Google's is C++). I've always wondered if there was any extra overhead in using Hadoop. I know Java is almost if not faster than C++ in some areas, and long running servers (like Hadoop) should benefit the most. But I wonder if there are some extra limitations Java places on things like BigTable.
