Hi Alieh, the scatter-gather model is built on top of Flink delta iterations exactly for the reason to allow de-activating vertices that do not need to participate in the computation of a certain superstep. If you want all vertices to participate in all iterations of scatter-gather, you can send dummy messages to keep them active. However, the scatter-gather model might not be the correct model for your use-case and you might want to look into Flink bulk iteration operators instead [1].
