Tom Schweiger updated GIRAPH-911: --------------------------------- Description: There is a wrapper for vertex and edge input and output format classes that creates a copy of the class and then calls certain methods using a modified context. The wrapped class is configurable, but setConf is never called on it. If a user creates their own vertex or edge input or output format that requires some special set-up, they cannot rely on the the obvious setConf call to achieve this; it will work for unwrapped instances of the class but not for the wrapped class. Thus for the wrapped classes there should be a setConf method that calls the super for the wrapper as well as setConf on the wrapped class. was: There is a wrapper for vertex and edge input and output format classes that creates a copy of the class and then calls certain methods using a modified context.
