+/**
+ *
+ * Bipartite graph is a graph whose vertices can be divided into two
disjoint sets: top vertices and bottom vertices.
+ * Edges can only exist between a pair of vertices from different vertices
sets. E.g. there can be no vertices between
+ * a pair of top vertices.
+ *
+ * <p>Bipartite graphs are useful to represent graphs with two sets of
objects, like researchers and their publications,
+ * where an edge represents that a particular publication was authored by
a particular author.
+ *
+ * <p>Bipartite interface is different from {@link Graph} interface, so to
apply algorithms that work on a regular graph
+ * a bipartite graph should be first converted into a {@link Graph}
instance. This can be achieved by using
+ * {@link BipartiteGraph#simpleTopProjection()} or
+ * {@link BipartiteGraph#fullBottomProjection()} methods.

+ * @param <BK> the key type of the bottom vertices

Also, and it was discussed only have a Tuple2 of edge values, but double
checking that we don't also want to include the (here: bottom) vertex ID in the
new edge value.
