--------------------------------

             Summary: Giraph should track aggregate statistics over lifetime of 
the computation
                 Key: GIRAPH-810
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-810
             Project: Giraph
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Rob Vesse


When Giraph completes a job it reports a set of information about the job like 
so:

The problem is that some of this statistics are not particularly helpful since 
they pertain only to the most recent super step, namely Sent messages and Sent  
messages bytes.

I can understand that there is a reason for doing this since the number of sent 
messages is used in helping to determine whether a computation should halt at a 
given super step but it would be useful if these were also tracked in aggregate 
over the lifetime of the computation.
