Pavan Kumar commented on GIRAPH-713: ------------------------------------ I created a patch for netty upgrade on the dependent task (note that the additional changes are because we do not want to use cache - some internal testing showed high perf regression with caching turned on in netty) ratio of sent bytes with different compression algos for pagerank run on a graph with 1million vertices and 85 million edges none vs jdkzlib = 2.5 none vs snappy = 1.5 however in my runs, the overhead of compression is much more than saving obtained. this is not a comprehensive experiment, though. our network is much faster, etc. so might be useful for others, in anycase, the change is non-intrusive, by default compression is turned off, so no regression. Users, can turn on compression by providing the option -Dgiraph.nettyCompressionAlgorithm=SNAPPY or -Dgiraph.nettyCompressionAlgorithm=INFLATE > Provide an option to do request compression > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: GIRAPH-713 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-713 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Maja Kabiljo > Attachments: GIRAPH-713.patch, GIRAPH-713_1.patch > > > In some cases, network is much slower than all the computation stuff we do, > and we could benefit from compressing requests. > https://reviews.apache.org/r/12377/ -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
