Rohit commented on FLINK-1536:
------------------------------

Are the Graphs Created in Gelly Mutable? I mean when you perform the mutation 
does it updates the old data structure or create a new copy like GraphX. I am 
new to flink so have not much understanding of the dataset API in flink. I am 
asking this question here because if while implementing partitioning in Gelly 
one need to modify the underlying data structure and if its immutable 
repartitioning will create a new graph and hence doing multiple repartitioning 
based on the evaluation of the graph with time will be a major problem.

> 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].
