             Summary: Create interface for weighing/sizing vertices
                 Key: GIRAPH-260
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-260
             Project: Giraph
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jakob Homan
            Assignee: Eli Reisman


Different applications need to 'weight' vertices differently.  This is 
important for determing when to move vertices across workers, how to partition 
them, etc.  For instance, one application may wish to base these decisions on 
the degree of each vertex, while another may want to also include the weights 
of the edges.  Or, there may be a graph with heavy weight values and few edges 
in general.  It would be good to have an interface Giraph can use to compare 
and weigh vertices.
Something like:
{noformat}
interface VertexWeight<{the usual type silliness}> implements Comparator<{more 
type silliness}> {
   def compare()
   def getWeight()
}
The default implementation could be based on the vertex degree.  This would be 
a user-specified class, with a few pre-provided options.
