Is Google departing from just throwing white papers over the wall and let community figure out the implementation details? blaze white paper was dropped a while ago and there are already two clones in Pants and Buck at Twitter and FB. It would be interesting to see how far off clones are from original implementation.
- cbgb 12y agoDo you have a link to that white paper? A quick search on their research site doesn't really yield any results.
- kchod 12y agoI'm a developer on Bazel, and AFAIK there is no white paper. We definitely don't want to "throw it over the wall," we're going to try to push more and more development into the open over time.
- cbgb 12y agoAh, OK, thanks. I do get a kick out of reading various Google white papers (GFS, Spanner, and the Multi-Paxos implementation for Chubby come to mind), so I'd definitely be interested in the prospect of a future white paper :).
- bruckie 12y agoThere's not a white paper, but there's this series of posts: http://google-engtools.blogspot.com/2011/06/build-in-cloud-accessing-source-code.html http://google-engtools.blogspot.com/2011/06/build-in-cloud-a... (and an accompanying presentation)
