Hi Yasser,
You can do this through the Configuration parameters. You should call:
description1.addParameter("myApplication.vertexInputPath", "file1.txt");
and
description2.addParameter("myApplication.vertexInputPath", "file2.txt");
Then from the code of your InputFormat class you can get this parameter from
Configuration. If it's not already, make sure your InputFormat implements
ImmutableClassesGiraphConfigurable, and configuration is going to be set in it
automatically.
You can also take a look at HiveGiraphRunner which uses multiple inputs and
sets parameters user passes from command line.
Hope this helps,
Maja

Subject: RE: MultiVertexInputFormat
Hi Guys,
Any help on this will be appreciated. I am repeating my question and my
code below:
I am implementing an algorithm in Giraph that reads the vertex values from two
input files, each has its own format. I am not using any EdgeInputFormatClass.
I am now using VertexInputFormatDescription along with MultiVertexInputFormats,
but still could not figure out how to set the Vertex input path for each Input
Format Class. Can you please take a look at my code below and show me how to
set the Vertex Input Path? I have taken a look at HiveGiraphRunner but still no
luck. Thanks
if (null == getConf()) {
conf = new Configuration();
}
GiraphConfiguration gconf = new GiraphConfiguration(getConf());
int workers = Integer.parseInt(arg0[2]);
gconf.setWorkerConfiguration(workers, workers, 100.0f);
List<VertexInputFormatDescription> vertexInputDescriptions =
Lists.newArrayList();
// Input one
VertexInputFormatDescription description1 = new
VertexInputFormatDescription(UseCase1FirstVertexInputFormat.class);
// how to set the vertex input path? i.e. how to say that I want to read
file1.txt using this input format class
vertexInputDescriptions.add(description1);
// Input two
VertexInputFormatDescription description2 = new
VertexInputFormatDescription(UseCase1SecondVertexInputFormat.class);
// how to set the vertex input path?
vertexInputDescriptions.add(description2);
GiraphConstants.VERTEX_INPUT_FORMAT_CLASS.set(gconf,
MultiVertexInputFormat.class);
VertexInputFormatDescription.VERTEX_INPUT_FORMAT_DESCRIPTIONS.set(gconf,InputFormatDescription.toJsonString(vertexInputDescriptions));
gconf.setVertexOutputFormatClass(UseCase1OutputFormat.class);
gconf.setComputationClass(UseCase1Vertex.class);
GiraphJob job = new GiraphJob(gconf, "Use Case 1");
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job.getInternalJob(), new Path(arg0[1]));
return job.run(true) ? 0 : -1;
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Yasser

Thanks a lot Avery for your response. I am now using
VertexInputFormatDescription, but still could not figure out how to set the
Vertex input path. I just need to read the vertex values from two different
files, each with its own format. I am not using any EdgeInputFormatClass.
Can you please take a look at my code below and show me how to set the
Vertex Input Path? Thanks
if (null == getConf()) {
conf = new Configuration();
}
GiraphConfiguration gconf = new GiraphConfiguration(getConf());

gconf.setWorkerConfiguration(workers, workers, 100.0f);
List<VertexInputFormatDescription> vertexInputDescriptions =
Lists.newArrayList();
// Input one
VertexInputFormatDescription description1 = new
VertexInputFormatDescription(UseCase1FirstVertexInputFormat.class);
// how to set the vertex input path?
vertexInputDescriptions.add(description1);
// Input two
VertexInputFormatDescription description2 = new
VertexInputFormatDescription(UseCase1SecondVertexInputFormat.class);
// how to set the vertex input path?
vertexInputDescriptions.add(description2);
VertexInputFormatDescription.VERTEX_INPUT_FORMAT_DESCRIPTIONS.set(gconf,InputFormatDescription.toJsonString(vertexInputDescriptions));
gconf.setVertexOutputFormatClass(UseCase1OutputFormat.class);
gconf.setComputationClass(UseCase1Vertex.class);
GiraphJob job = new GiraphJob(gconf, "Use Case 1");
FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job.getInternalJob(), new
Path(arg0[1]));
return job.run(true) ? 0 : -1;
Best,

Subject: Re: MultiVertexInputFormat
This is doable in Giraph, you can use as many vertex or edge input formats as
you like (via GIRAPH-639). You just need to choose MultiVertexInputFormat
and/or MultiEdgeInputFromat
See VertexInputFormatDescription for vertex input formats
/**
* VertexInputFormats description - JSON array containing a JSON array for
* each vertex input. Vertex input JSON arrays contain one or two elements -
* first one is the name of vertex input class, and second one is JSON object
* with all specific parameters for this vertex input. For example:
* [["VIF1",{"p":"v1"}],["VIF2",{"p":"v2","q":"v"}]]
*/
public static final StrConfOption VERTEX_INPUT_FORMAT_DESCRIPTIONS =
new StrConfOption("giraph.multiVertexInput.descriptions", null,
"VertexInputFormats description - JSON array containing a JSON " +
"array for each vertex input. Vertex input JSON arrays contain " +
"one or two elements - first one is the name of vertex input " +
"class, and second one is JSON object with all specific parameters " +
"for this vertex input. For example: [[\"VIF1\",{\"p\":\"v1\"}]," +
"[\"VIF2\",{\"p\":\"v2\",\"q\":\"v\"}]]\"");
See EdgeInputFormatDescription for edge input formats
/**
* EdgeInputFormats description - JSON array containing a JSON array for
* each edge input. Edge input JSON arrays contain one or two elements -
* first one is the name of edge input class, and second one is JSON object
* with all specific parameters for this edge input. For example:
* [["EIF1",{"p":"v1"}],["EIF2",{"p":"v2","q":"v"}]]
*/
public static final StrConfOption EDGE_INPUT_FORMAT_DESCRIPTIONS =
new StrConfOption("giraph.multiEdgeInput.descriptions", null,
"EdgeInputFormats description - JSON array containing a JSON array " +
"for each edge input. Edge input JSON arrays contain one or two " +
"elements - first one is the name of edge input class, and second " +
"one is JSON object with all specific parameters for this edge " +
"input. For example: [[\"EIF1\",{\"p\":\"v1\"}]," +
"[\"EIF2\",{\"p\":\"v2\",\"q\":\"v\"}]]");
Hope that helps,
Avery

Subject: MultiVertexInputFormat
Hi,
I am implementing an algorithm using Giraph. My algorithm needs
to read input data from two files, each has its own format. My questions are:
1. How can I use the MultiVertexInputFormat class? Is there any example
that shows how this class can be used?
2. How can I specify this class when running my job using the Giraph
Runner or using a driver class?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Yasser
