Yazan Boshmaf commented on GIRAPH-676:
--------------------------------------
Hi Claudio. My rationale was to provide a compact guide for new comers to get
Giraph running on, for example, their laptops. I see that one would rather
first experiment with Giraph and run some examples to get familiar with its
computational model, before large-scale deployment on physical machines. Also,
I find this very useful for people who plan to write and test patches, without
being dependant on shared, possibly over-utilized Hadoop clusters. Finally, it
is much easier to save VM state and clone VMs for the case when some update or
change breaks things up. I clearly state this rationale in the first section of
the documentation, while noting that one can follow the same steps on physical
machines that have the same OS and basic networking configuration.
One caveat is that such a deployment will be relatively slower than
non-virtualized one. Yet, performance benchmarking of Giraph on large clusters
and input graphs is beyond this quick-start guide, IMHO.
What do you think?
