Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-273:
------------------------------------
I think that as an option, writing to HDFS should be fine, but the default
should be in-memory, as writing to HDFS is likely to be a bit slow. Again,
moving this out of Zookeeper should improve our scalability a lot, even with
say 100k aggregators, this shouldn't be an issue (assuming they are small
objects). The master doesn't require a lot of memory for other things, so
keeping it in memory should be fine.
> Aggregators shouldn't use Zookeeper

> We use Zookeeper znodes to transfer aggregated values from workers to master
> and back. Zookeeper is supposed to be used for coordination, and it also has
> a memory limit which prevents users from having aggregators with large value
> objects. These are the reasons why we should implement aggregators gathering
> and distribution in a different way.
