Greg Hogan commented on FLINK-1536:
-----------------------------------
As I understand, these can be implemented as a {{GraphAlgorithm}} returning a
{{Graph}} where the edges and/or vertices have been shuffled to partitions
which improve the performance of follow-on algorithms or when written out to
database, storage, etc.
> Graph partitioning operators for Gelly

> Key: FLINK-1536
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1536
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Gelly
> Reporter: Vasia Kalavri
> Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk
> Priority: Minor
>
> Smart graph partitioning can significantly improve the performance and
> scalability of graph analysis applications. Depending on the computation
> pattern, a graph partitioning algorithm divides the graph into (maybe
> overlapping) subgraphs, optimizing some objective. For example, if
> communication is performed across graph edges, one might want to minimize the
> edges that cross from one partition to another.
> The problem of graph partitioning is a well studied problem and several
> algorithms have been proposed in the literature. The goal of this project
> would be to choose a few existing partitioning techniques and implement the
> corresponding graph partitioning operators for Gelly.
> Some related literature can be found [here|
> http://www.citeulike.org/user/vasiakalavri/tag/graph-partitioning].
