Paolo Castagna commented on GIRAPH-191:
---------------------------------------

It would be good if we could also use this or provide a PageRank implementation 
which deals with dangling nodes/vertexes properly.

Dangling vertexes are vertexes with no edges.

SinglePageRankVertex has:

{code}
    if (getSuperstep() < MAX_SUPERSTEPS) {
      long edges = getNumOutEdges();
      sendMsgToAllEdges(
          new DoubleWritable(getVertexValue().get() / edges));
    } else {
      voteToHalt();
    }
{code}

This does not work when getNumOutEdges() returns 0.

Some suggest to divide the PageRank scores of dangling vertexes evenly among 
all other vertex (it's yet another sort of random jump to propagate PageRank 
scores to all nodes). This can be implemented in Giraph as a separate superstep 
using a SumAggregator.
