I'm a co-author on the paper, and a couple of interesting quick notes:
* BitFunnel processes every query that comes into Bing, but (at least when I left MSFT) indexed "only" the superfresh tier.
* Dan and Mike spent a few months removing cruft and porting it to Linux before we open sourced it: https://github.com/BitFunnel/BitFunnel https://github.com/BitFunnel/BitFunnel
* It did win best paper at SIGIR (probably the most prestigious IR conference) this year.
- dwenzek 9y agoI had a glance the engineering diary http://bitfunnel.org/ http://bitfunnel.org/ I find really interesting for a code repository to have such a companion.
- antics 9y agoThe original idea was to write little entries as we continued the Linux port, explaining why certain things are they way they are -- a sort of tour of a very serious production system. I still love the idea, but unfortunately, I think it is safe to say that this goal failed. :(
