Greg Hogan commented on FLINK-1707:
-----------------------------------

>From the "A Binary Variable Model for Affinity Propagation" paper: "The α(i,j) 
>messages are identical to the AP availability messages a(i,j), and the ρ(i,j) 
>messages are identical to the AP responsibility messages r(i,j). Thus, we have 
>recovered the original affinity propagation updates."

I'm rather uncertain what we are working towards here. This paper provides a 
nice derivation of Affinity Propagation but the algorithm is unchanged which 
should yield the same Flink implementation. The paper discusses "Capacitated 
Affinity Propagation" which would be a separate algorithm and implementation.

> Add an Affinity Propagation Library Method

> This issue proposes adding the an implementation of the Affinity Propagation 
> algorithm as a Gelly library method and a corresponding example.
> The algorithm is described in paper [1] and a description of a vertex-centric 
> implementation can be found is [2].
