As a Googler my reaction to this statement is "LOL". We still do a ton of map reduces.
- _ak 12y agoI'm not sure if you're allowed to talk about it, but... I remember a talk by Rob Pike where he mentioned that Sawzall was one of the first major MR users within Google. But IIRC, Sawzall has been retired at Google some time ago, and the successor to it was developed in Go. Does the successor follow the same or similar principles in terms of parallelization, or did you follow another approach?
- enneff 12y agoThe successor to Sawzall is basically a framework for writing mapreduces in Go.
- stingraycharles 12y agoDo new applications make use of it, though? "Deprecated" might be a better term to describe it.
- enneff 12y agoYes, new mapreduces are written every day.
