Hyunsik Choi commented on GIRAPH-12:
------------------------------------
I'm sorry too for late response. I was out of town due to my personal work. I
just come to home.
The previous experiments are too simple. Actually, that experiment cannot show
any meaningful result. I sorry for that. As to the question 3, this issue was
originated from the memory usage. I should have measured the memory usage.
Sooner, I'll answer your 3 questions :)

> Currently every worker will start up a thread to communicate with every other
> workers. Hadoop RPC is used for communication. For instance if there are
> 400 workers, each worker will create 400 threads. This ends up using a lot
> of memory, even with the option
> -Dmapred.child.java.opts="-Xss64k".
> It would be good to investigate using frameworks like Netty or custom roll
> our own to improve this situation. By moving away from Hadoop RPC, we would
> also make compatibility of different Hadoop versions easier.
