Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-29: ----------------------------------- No problem, the real issue is that there is little documentation (my fault). Contrary to MapReduce (map tasks = input splits), workers need not equal input split from VertexInputFormat. Workers in Giraph process InputSplits as fast as possible and may process 0 or more InputSplits. > Implement TextVertexInputFormat for text-format graph data > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GIRAPH-29 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-29 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: bsp > Reporter: Hyunsik Choi > Assignee: Hyunsik Choi > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.70.0 > > > Supporting text-format graph data would be nice. It is helpful for developing > graph algorithms and debugging because text-format graph data are > human-readable and enable users to easily write sample data sets. > Furthermore, text-format data are exchangeable regardless of operating > systems or programming languages. > So, we need a basic InputFormat to help users develop user-defined > InputFormat classes to deal text-represented graph data sets. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
