Thanks for the PR @andralungu!
The idea for this issue is to (a) use a combinable reduce for the simple
(without vertex value) reduceOn* methods, because it will be more efficient and
(b) offer groupReduceOn* versions with Collectors to allow returning more than
one value per vertex.
I see you have implemented (b) here, but not (a).
To be more specific, the groupReduceOn* methods would be the ones with the
Collectors. Basically, you'll just have to rename what you have already
implemented. The reduceOn* methods will only return one value per vertex, like
they do currently, but internally use the reduce operator (instead of
reduceGroup).
For example, if you want to compute the sum of edge values, you can use the
`reduceOnEdges` method, same as you currently do. And if you want to compute
the Jaccard coefficient, you need to output multiple values per vertex and for
that you can use `groupReduceOnEdges`.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks again :-)
