Alessandro Presta commented on GIRAPH-524:
------------------------------------------
All I'm saying is that the concept of output format is relative to whatever
produces the output, in this case Giraph. In the Giraph model, we produce
zero/one/many records/lines/blobs for each vertex. That's not a matter of
naming, it's structural.
There doesn't have to be any trace of vertices and edges in the resulting
output, and whatever system consumes that output doesn't care how it was
produced.
So to be honest I think this is a non-issue, but maybe I'm still missing the
point.
> Giraph can receive input from vertex or edge-centric data sets; its output is
> graph data, not "vertices"

> It is silly to have any of our Output format names tied to the "vertex" when
> in fact we are just outputting graph data. The output format names should
> reflect the formatting of the output, and perhaps which elements of the graph
> data you want in the output.
> Lets change those names? Then they get shorter too as a bonus.
