Ivan Mushketyk commented on FLINK-2254:
---------------------------------------

[~vkalavri] I went through the paper listed in this issue, but I still have 
some questions.

If I understand correctly bipartite graph should be analyzed differently than a 
regular (one-mode) graph. For example in case of movies/actors graph, we may 
consider that two actors are connected if they have a movie in common, a 
conclusion we can come to only if we know that the graph is bipartite.

I wonder if  we should treat bipartite graph is a special case of graph? In 
other words does all operations (methods and algorithms) defined for the Graph 
class make sense for a bipartite graph?

Also the issue description mentions that "We would like to support efficient 
operations for this type of graphs". What are these operations? Are there any 
operations additional operations that we need for bipartiate graph?

> A bipartite graph is a graph for which the set of vertices can be divided
