Rollback of commit 7f8e0456efe58711aae98c95c6a9dfb57824b9c2. *** Reason for rollback *** Breaks Bazel tests: http://ci.bazel.io/job/bazel-tests/331/#showFailuresLink *** Original change description *** Improve reliability/performance of Bazel downloads 1. We now retry on connection failures. a. With exponential backoff. b. While recovering quickly from ephemeral failures. c. While still working if internet or web server is slow. 2. We now request gzip responses from web server. Fixed #1760 Fixed #1910 RELNOTES: External downloads now retry with exponential backoff and support gzip content-encoding. -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=139899835
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
