It looks like the research team has submitted some commits for parts of their work from the paper to be merged into RocksDB at large. If the work is shared for others to use, it shouldn't be so scary.

Personally, I think research papers like this should open source their work completely so others can replicate their results. That's how science is supposed to work, after all.

- Rafuino 8y agoIf you add a new storage tier which is supposed to be cheaper than another tier but also slower, you can't take it for granted that real life performance is better. For Facebook which has talent on hand and a very large scale to amortized R&D efforts it is one thing. But for the rest of the market it is a very different. But you said the positioning is scary, seemingly because of the additional work that's needed to make it work. If it's shared, does that not help?
