Nitay Joffe updated GIRAPH-683:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
Support for writing Computation code in Python. We add Jython bindings so that 
the Python computation code can communicate back with the Java Giraph classes.

To make this work I had to change a few parts of Giraph:
1) The Jython computation is not known until we read the script and create a 
Computation object for it at runtime. This has to be done on each worker 
separately after the job has launched. Because of this, there is no Computation 
class set at the beginning. I suspect other scripting languages will have 
similar issue. To fix this I created a ComputationFactory interface which is 
responsible for creating the Computation, with a default that just grabs the 
class from the Configuration and creates it.
2) I created a GiraphTypes class to hold the I,V,E,M1,M2 classes. There was a 
lot of repetitive code around these things so centralizing it all in one place 
made things a lot cleaner.
3) I added some more helpers like isDefaultValue() to our conf options.

To use Jython all the user has to do is call Jython#init(...) somewhere in his 
initialization.

This patch contains our page rank benchmark implementation in Jython. I added 
an option (--jython) which chooses whether to run the default or the jython 
version.

Here is the initial PageRankBenchmark comparison (4 workers, 10M vertices, 25 
edges per vertex):

Java:
Total (milliseconds)    104,388 0       104,388
Superstep 3 (milliseconds)      16,750  0       16,750
Setup (milliseconds)    2,895   0       2,895

Superstep 1 (milliseconds)      41,737  0       41,737

Overhead of Jython vs Java = 2.5x.


However at scale things get better (200 workers, 1B vertices, 200 edges per 
vertex):

Java:
Total (milliseconds)    1,702,429       0       1,702,429

Input superstep (milliseconds)  114,673 0       114,673

Superstep 1 (milliseconds)      317,942 0       317,942

Jython:

Superstep 3 (milliseconds)      406,422 0       406,422

Shutdown (milliseconds) 131     0       131
Superstep 0 (milliseconds)      347,732 0       347,732
Superstep 4 (milliseconds)      405,696 0       405,696
Input superstep (milliseconds)  112,645 0       112,645
Superstep 5 (milliseconds)      46,687  0       46,687
Superstep 2 (milliseconds)      410,349 0       410,349
Superstep 1 (milliseconds)      386,404 0       386,404

That's a mere 25% overhead.
