--------------------------------------

Hi [~ayd],

can you please give me some details on what you mean by graph input method? 
Gelly represents a Graph as a DataSet of Vertices and a DataSet of Edges. You 
can read on how we can create a graph from files, collections or DataSets in 
the [Gelly 
guide|http://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/gelly_guide.html#graph-creation].

Let me know if you have questions!

> Smart graph partitioning can significantly improve the performance and 
> scalability of graph analysis applications. Depending on the computation 
> pattern, a graph partitioning algorithm divides the graph into (maybe 
> overlapping) subgraphs, optimizing some objective. For example, if 
> communication is performed across graph edges, one might want to minimize the 
> edges that cross from one partition to another.
> The problem of graph partitioning is a well studied problem and several 
> algorithms have been proposed in the literature. The goal of this project 
> would be to choose a few existing partitioning techniques and implement the 
> corresponding graph partitioning operators for Gelly.
> Some related literature can be found [here| 
> http://www.citeulike.org/user/vasiakalavri/tag/graph-partitioning].
