There is a bug in ArrayListWritable – readFileds should clear the list before 
reading any data to it. We are reusing message objects and every time we call 
readFields data is just going to be appended to the previous message. It's very 
easy to fix, Kyle please feel free to open an issue and submit a patch for it.

Subject: Re: Problems with sending/receiving messages of type 
IntArrayListWritable

Tried it, got the same exact results.  Do you think it's a problem with 
ArrayListWritable, or with sendMessage()?  I don't have a great understanding 
of how sendMessage() utilizes the Writable interface exactly... I'm guessing 
that at some point it uses readFields() and write() because those obviously 
need to be implemented for a class to be considered "Writable".  Looking at 
those two methods for ArrayListWritable, nothing jumps out at me as being a 
bug, though I can see where the minimum number of values in the ArrayList could 
be set incorrectly in readFields():

    int numValues = in.readInt();            // read number of values
    ensureCapacity(numValues);

What do you think?

could you try using:

-D giraph.oneToAllMsgSending=true when you run it?

Yep, and I've pulled recently as well.

That's strange. This looks like a bug to me. Are you using trunk?

Also, I realize that I just sent an uncommented version... sorry guys,
but the algorithm consists of just three supersteps:


Superstep 0.) Source sends list of source's neighbors to each neighbor

Superstep 1.) Neighbor receives list of source's neighbors from
source, counts number of mutual neighbors, sends this value (in a
1-element list) back to source

Superstep 2.) Source receives messages from neighbors that contain
number of mutual neighbors. These are summed up and divided by the
number of possible connections between neighbors to get the local
clustering coefficient (between 0 and 1). This is set as the source
vertex's value.
