This is a big deal, I think. I'm guessing it's not widely used internally anymore if they are open sourcing it. What is used instead?

As merely two examples, both gRPC and Kubernetes are important to Google, and yet Google opened sourced them. "No longer used" is not the criteria Google uses to make their software OSS. FYI, I work at Google.

Thanks for clarifying

Interesting fact: the first commit is 2 years old and is entitled "Boilerplate for new Google open source project".

Either they rewrite git history or it took about 2 years to get approval on making this repo public.

Now that's bureaucracy.

The code has an internal analogue, and the tooling lets you choose whether to export the entire git history or squash it. They may have chosen the former, in which case it could just be 2 years to migrate and rework the code to be ready for open sourcing. In that time I imagine there were four reorgs and countless priority shifts :)

I was hoping this would mine literal stats graphs for anomaly detection

It's interesting and deceptively simple at first.

I might be (very) far behind the times, but does this have any relationship with Pregel?
