Dear Mr. Martella,

Once achieved the conditions for updating the vertex data base, what it the 
best way for the Injector Vertex to call an input reader again?

I am able to access all the HDFS data, but I guess the vertex would need to 
have access to the input splits and also the vertex input format that I 
designate. Am I correct? Or there is a way that one can just ask Zookeeper to 
create new splits and distribute to the workers from given a path in DFS?

Best Regards,
Marco Lotz

Hi Marco,

Giraph currently does not support that. One way of doing this would be by 
having a specific (pseudo-)vertex to act as the "injector" of the new vertices 
and edges For example, it would read a file from HDFS and call the mutable API 
during the computation, superstep after superstep.

Hello all,

I would like to know if there is any form to use dynamic graphs with Giraph. By 
dynamic one can read graphs that may change while Giraph is 
computing/deliberating. The changes are in the input file and are not caused by 
the graph computation itself.

Is there any way to analyse it using Giraph? If not, anyone has any 
idea/suggestion if it is possible to modify the framework in order to process 
it?

Best Regards,
Marco Lotz
