Daniel Kuppitz commented on TINKERPOP-2187:
-------------------------------------------
The message scope should be {{Global}} only, SPVP never sends local messages.
Logically, a message combiner doesn't make much sense IMO. There's nothing to
combine to reduce the message size, all I could do is turn messages into Lists
of Triplets. However, that means messages would become larger (perhaps too
large in certain scenarios). I'm wondering if there's something wrong in
FulgoraGraphComputer; it really should just process every incoming message.
> Two issues with the ShortestPathVertexProgram

> Key: TINKERPOP-2187
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2187
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.4.1
> Reporter: Florian Hockmann
> Assignee: Daniel Kuppitz
> Priority: Minor
>
> While trying to update JanusGraph to TinkerPop 3.4.0, I encountered two
> issues with the {{ShortestPathVertexProgramm}}:
> # {{ShortestPathVertexProgram.getMessageScopes()}} returns an empty
> collection which doesn't work for a graph computer that uses these scopes to
> execute the edge traversal. I think the scopes should be {{Global}} and
> {{Local}} with the edge traversal.
> # The {{ShortestPathVertexProgram}} defines no message combiner, but
> {{sendMessages()}} can apparently still send multiple messages for the same
> vertex.
> For some reason, this doesn't lead to any problems for the
> {{TinkerGraphComputer}}. (Maybe it receives each message before another one
> can be sent for the same vertex?)
> For {{FulgoraGraphComputer}} however some tests result in a situation where
> multiple messages are sent to the same vertex which fails because no combiner
> is defined.
> So, I'd say that the {{ShortestPathVertexProgram}} should have a message
> combiner.
