             Summary: Standalone version of static PageRank
                 Key: SPARK-3427
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3427
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: GraphX
            Reporter: Ankur Dave
            Assignee: Ankur Dave


GraphX's current implementation of static (fixed iteration count) PageRank is 
implemented using the Pregel API. This unnecessarily tracks active vertices, 
even though in static PageRank all vertices are always active. Active vertex 
tracking incurs the following costs:

1. A shuffle per iteration to ship the active sets to the edge partitions.
2. A hash table creation per iteration at each partition to index the active 
sets for lookup.
3. A hash lookup per edge to check whether the source vertex is active.

I reimplemented static PageRank using the GraphX API instead of the 
higher-level Pregel API. In benchmarks on a 16-node m2.4xlarge cluster, this 
provided a 23% speedup (from 514 s to 397 s, mean over 3 trials) for 10 
iterations of PageRank on a synthetic graph with 10M vertices and 1.27B edges.
