I should mention that Giraph certainly allows for the graph to change (both
in
edge values, and in actual graph structure).  But it's currently a very
BSP-specific
paradigm: run _this_ algorithm, via BSP, over _this_ initial data set, until
_this_ many iterations have run, then exit.  You could hack it to do other
things,
but it wasn't the original intent, from what I can tell.
