Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-10:
-----------------------------------

This is definitely an open question here.  Here's a quick thought off the top 
of my head.

How about something like:

public interface AggregatorsWriter {
    void initialize(TaskAttemptContext context, int superstep) throws 
IOException;

    void writeAggregators(Collection<Aggregator<? extends Writable>> 
aggregators)
        throws IOException, InterruptedException;

    void close(TaskAttemptContext context)
        throws IOException, InterruptedException;
}

Then we could define a method that lets the user select the frequency of how 
frequently to write the aggregators maybe with an enum (ALL_SUPERSTEPS, 
LAST_SUPERSTEP...).

We could easily implement a default AggregatorsWriter that simply dumps the 
name and aggregator values with the registered aggregator name (maybe class 
name too) and then the value.toString().  And users can implement something 
better if they like.

Another alternative would be to support writing aggregators separately by the 
type, but might be a little excessive and could be done later....hopefully 
someone else also chimes in with some thoughts.
