Jakob Homan commented on GIRAPH-36:
-----------------------------------
bq. Can GIRAPH-47 be a start for what you have in mind?
Yeah, that's close to what I'm hoping for. I'll comment there.
bq. I can certainly imagine this being very nice and clean.
Inheritance is going to be brittle over the long term, so the cleaner we can
make this now, the easier it will be to attract a user base confident in
investing in the new platform. This is particularly true given how much we're
at the mercy of Java's poor generic system; users already have to grok things
like DoubleDoubleFloat in type names.

> Original assumptions in Giraph were that all users would subclass Vertex
> (which extended MutableVertex extended BasicVertex). Classes which wish to
> have application specific data structures (ie. not a TreeMap<I, Edge<I,E>>)
> may need to extend either MutableVertex or BasicVertex. Unfortunately
> VertexRange extends ArrayList<Vertex>, and there are other places where the
> assumption is that vertex classes are either Vertex, or at least
> MutableVertex.
> Let's make sure the internal APIs allow for BasicVertex to be the base class.
