Hi all, like you may know I want to have a bit more structure (in terms of intuition) in our API to the user. I would like to add a setup(BSPPeer peer) and a cleanup(BSPPeer peer) method to our abstract BSP class. In addition I want to implement the setConfiguration and getConfiguration in our abstract BSP class, add a Configuration field, and set them to deprecated. (maybe we can remove them in our 5.0 release). To retrieve the job's configuration, the user should use peer.getConfiguration(). Similar to the Hadoop flow, we are executing setup->bsp->cleanup. So users could be able to execute initial message sending in the setup method, as well as synchronizing.
