----------------------------------

             Summary: Use `isEmpty` to improve performance in Pregel's superstep
                 Key: SPARK-36420
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-36420
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: GraphX
    Affects Versions: 2.4.7
            Reporter: xiepengjie
             Fix For: 3.3.0


When I was running `Graphx.connectedComponents` with 20+ billion vertices and 
edges, I found that count is very slow.
{code:java}
object Pregel extends Logging {
  ...
  def apply[VD: ClassTag, ED: ClassTag, A: ClassTag] (...): Graph[VD, ED] = {
    ...
    // Maybe messages.isEmpty() is better than messages.count()
    var activeMessages = messages.count()

    // Loop
    var prevG: Graph[VD, ED] = null
    var i = 0
    while (activeMessages > 0 && i < maxIterations) {
      ...
      activeMessages = messages.count()
      ...
    }
    ...
    g
  } // end of apply

} // end of class Pregel
{code}
Maybe we only need an action operator here and active-messages are not empty, 
so we don’t need to use count, it’s better to use isEmpty. I verified it and it 
worked very well.
