> Key: GIRAPH-80
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-80
> Project: Giraph
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.70.0
> Reporter: Sebastian Schelter
> Assignee: Sebastian Schelter
>
> I'm currently trying to implement my own memory efficient vertex (similar to
> LongDoubleFloatDoubleVertex) and ran into problems with getMsgList()
> This method returns a list pointing to the messages of the vertex and it is
> modified externally (BasicRPCCommunications calls clear() and addAll() e.g.).
> This makes it very hard to use something else than a java.util.List
> internally (LongDoubleFloatDoubleVertex "hacked" around this) and it is
> generally dangerous to have the internal state of an object be modified
> externally. It also makes the code harder to read and understand.
> I'd suggest to change the API to let a vertex handle the modifications itself
> internally (e.g. add something like pushMessages(...))
