Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-47: ----------------------------------- I was thinking about the later approach that you mentioned ((MyEmitterWorkerContext)this.getWorkerContext()).emit(mydata). I doubt the cast is that expensive, it's not boxing/unboxing. If there is a cleaner way to do it that would allow users to do pretty much anything with their WorkerContext, I'm open to it. But this should work. > Export Worker's Context/State to vertices through > pre/post/Application/Superstep > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GIRAPH-47 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-47 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: graph > Affects Versions: 0.70.0 > Reporter: Claudio Martella > Assignee: Claudio Martella > > It would be quite useful for vertices to reach some worker-related > information stored i.e. in the GraphState class. > This information could be exported as a parameter to > pre/post/Application/Superstep like this: > public void preApplication(Configurable workerObject); > public void postApplication(Configurable workerObject); > public void preSuperstep(Configurable workerObject); > public void postSuperstep(Configurable workerObject); > public Configurable getWorkerObject(); > Another possibility is to add a Context inner class to BasicVertex to store > this information. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
