To reply, visit: https://reviews.apache.org/r/3203/#review3936 ----------------------------------------------------------- I think that overall this looks pretty nice. I do have a couple of suggestions. Also in the CODE_CONVENTIONS, comments should start with a capital letter i.e. (// This convention is silly). /trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/giraph/graph/BasicVertex.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/3203/#comment8881> Should be package-private to avoid the user from mucking around with the message data structure. /trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/giraph/graph/BasicVertex.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/3203/#comment8884> Should be package-private to only be called by the infrastructure. Can we capitalize the comments? I.e. /** Release... Also the comment is not quite right. releaseResources() will be called after the computation of the vertex, not only after a halted vertex. /trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/giraph/utils/MemoryUtils.java <https://reviews.apache.org/r/3203/#comment8880> Thanks for fixing this (my bad)!

Review request for giraph. bq. bq. bq. Summary bq. ------- bq. bq. refactoring that gives BasicVertex this 3 new methods: bq. bq. public abstract Iterable<M> getMessages() bq. bq. returns an unmodifiable iterable allowing access to the current messages bq. bq. public abstract void setMessages(Iterable<M> messages); bq. bq. replacement for getMsgList().clear() followed by getMsgList().addAll(...); bq. bq. public abstract void releaseResources(); bq. bq. after a vertex voted to halt, all references to messages it could still hold should be removed to enable earlier GC, instead of externally calling replacement for getMsgList().clear(), this method should be used bq. bq. Local unit tests pass, unfortunately I wasn't yet able to run the tests on my hadoop cluster (still have problems because I can only access it via a socks proxy) bq. bq. bq.
