Eli Reisman commented on GIRAPH-291:
------------------------------------

Sorry I did not get that impression from the other threads, sounds great. I 
figured verifying the progress calls in the lock code would relate to trying to 
solve the timeout problem with the existing solution, and we already know it 
doesn't work, so I didn't really follow the purpose.

I believe the main contribution of 246 is making the timeouts go away until we 
know why they are happening. If we want to pursue the predicate lock solution, 
that sounds great but the annoyance of this problem is that you don't know if 
you've solved it without running a bunch of long jobs, and so guessing at this 
has proven time consuming. Once I hit something that worked, I was done 
guessing as I have bigger fish to fry to get Giraph to the scale I need and 
this seemed like an interfacing-with-Hadoop problem, not a Giraph problem.

As far as this patch, looks great to me.
