I mean that

input split 0 should have 0, 1, 7
input split 1 should have 13, 20
input split 2 should have 24, 87, 108

I think the more clear definition should be something like
1) Any vertex read by the VertexReader should have a vertex id greater than its predecessor vertex read. 2) If an input split A has a vertex with a vertex id < any vertex id in input split, then all vertex ids in input split A must be < all vertex ids in input split B.

Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi Avery,

can you elaborate bit?

So I load vertices in order, but with skipping:

so partition 0 will read vertex 0, vertex 3, 6, …
partition 1 will read vertex 1, vertex,4, …

Do you mean the vertices must be consequtive in the
split?

Unfortunately, someone (probably me), needs to make a wiki on this issue. Currently, we require that your vertices are globally sorted by vertex id and that the vertices read in each input split are in order by vertex id. That probably explains the weirdness you are seeing. This issue is being addressed (albeit slowly because of new job) in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-11. The issue is also described a bit more fully there.

Hi,

I have a very difficult problem to debug. Several vertices seem to be duplicated -
maybe I am not reading the inputs properly? Here is more info:

- I have three input splits and use three workers. I have written my own input-dataformat (part of the zip I sent few days ago). In split one, i have ids mod 3 = 0, then ids mod 3 = 1 etc.

I added some extra debug vertex id 875600:

- I checked that the vertex 875600 is read only once, with 8 edges by adding a System.out.println debug: ::: READ: 875600 ; 8 : [81066, 271870, 272882, 483962, 621946, 723717, 834555, 845506]

- in the vertex.compute I will write the hostname of the computer and how many messsages, and eedges there are. From here I see that this vertex appear on two different hosts because I get
two types of outputs:

hostA.ml.cmu.edu <http://hostA.ml.cmu.edu/> 875600* => 0.0 / 0.0 msgs=0/6813839/8

hostB.ml.cmu.edu <http://hostB.ml.cmu.edu/> 875600* => -3.4657359027997265 / -3.4657359027997265 msgs=5/6813839/0


Note that the last string the debug is num-of-messages/num-edges/num-out-edges.

In the hostB, this vertex has no edges, but on host A, it has the correct 8 edges.

Does it matter how I split the vertex-ids?



ps. For next report I will make an Apache account. Too busy now..
