I work on HBase (the Apache version of BigTable). It makes me sad to see how far ahead Google is compared to the rest of the world. :)
The notion of uncertain time is ingenious.
- zaphar 14y agoI think that's more a factor of Google's scaling needs vs the rest of the world. We needed to invent it first so we did.
