Full Disclosure: I work on the Quay team at CoreOS
The Quay build system has implemented caching. The builder preemptively calculates the hashes of Dockerfile commands and then sends them to an API endpoint that finds the tag for the most similar tree of command hashes in a given repository. This tag is pulled before ever attempting to build the Dockerfile.
Google's solution seems far more general than just building Dockerfiles. I'm glad they're pushing for more innovation in this space.
