Eli Reisman commented on GIRAPH-214:
------------------------------------

I agree. I had just gotten here and was new to the codebase and seeing it set 
by hand all over the code made me think there was some stitched together thing 
going on in those methods that I shouldn't mess with. I can take a look. I'm 
pretty sure this won't come close to building any more, I might have to start 
again. The casting did not feel like a good fix, but for things that inherit 
from Configurable you can't change the signature and the solutions in other 
hadoop ecosystem configuration objects were fairly different, so I didn't 
really know that I wanted to make those decisions for everybody, or try to plow 
through a personal solution before finding out if it would meet approval.

> Currently all the configuration for Giraph is part of GiraphJob, making 
> things messy for GiraphJob.
> It would be better if we added a GiraphConf (similar to Hive) that is 
> responsible for handling configuration of the Job.
> i.e.
> public class GiraphJob extends Configuration....
> To simplify config, we should make get/set methods for as many of the 
> parameters as possible.
