Hi Ankur
What do you mean by custom sort routine? and parallel arrays?
I understand the overhead of JVM objects, so do you want to use 3 separate
primitivevector of srcID, dstId and Attr?
I think I can implement EdgePartitionBuilder using three arrays.
Some concern:
Will this harm locality?
(I also noticed in EdgePartition, srcID, dstId and Attr are stored in three
arrays)
BTW. I came across Storage Strategies for Collections in Dynamically Typed
Languages, I think maybe this can be solved in JVM.

> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GraphX
> Reporter: Ankur Dave
> Assignee: Ankur Dave
>
> A graph's edges are usually the largest component of the graph. GraphX
> currently stores edges in parallel primitive arrays, so each edge should only
> take 20 bytes to store (srcId: Long, dstId: Long, attr: Int). However, the
> current implementation in EdgePartitionBuilder uses an array of Edge objects
> as an intermediate representation for sorting, so each edge additionally
> takes about 40 bytes during graph construction (srcId (8) + dstId (8) + attr
> (4) + uncompressed pointer (8) + object overhead (8) + padding (4)). This
> unnecessarily increases GraphX's memory requirements by a factor of 3.
> To save memory, EdgePartitionBuilder should instead use a custom sort routine
> that operates directly on the three parallel arrays.
