Pavan Kumar created GIRAPH-908: ---------------------------------- Summary: support for partitioned input in giraph Key: GIRAPH-908 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-908 Project: Giraph Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Pavan Kumar Assignee: Pavan Kumar
When the graph we need to work on is already partitioned into a fixed number of buckets, with properties such as high edge-locality, low fan-out to other buckets, etc. [for instance using techniques such as https://people.cam.cornell.edu/~jugander/papers/wsdm13-blp.pdf ] we should be able to partition our graph based on such a mapping, to improve local-requests, etc. thus avoiding huge network communication. this diff is especially useful we repeatedly run algorithms on top of the same graph. In such case, we can compute the partitioning once & then use it to speed up processing, (also requiring less network bandwidth, etc.) for the rest applications on same/ similar graphs. The diff is big & partly reviewed by my colleagues. Putting it up for review -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
