Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-78: ----------------------------------- +1, this would be a great memory optimization. > Be smarter about multiple instances of the same vertex > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: GIRAPH-78 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-78 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jakob Homan > > In a graph such as > {noformat}a -> b, z > b -> c, z > c -> a, z > ... > z{noformat} > where vertices a,b,c and are hosted on one worker and z is hosted on another, > it would be good to cache instances of z so a,b,c all point at the same > instance, rather than generating multiple copies of the same remote vertex > during vertex reading. This is less important with primitive types and the > recent work done there, but very useful for more complex types. Since the > vertex readers are in userland, it would be good to provide these facilities > as a library implementing users can access. ] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
