JJ Zhang commented on SPARK-1153:
---------------------------------
We would also really like a general customized ID available for Vertex. We've
been using zipwithIndex to create IDs for now, however, it is a hassle
process-wise because we never have a stable ID: any update to a new version of
Graph with incremental input data requires a total rebuild of vertex/edges, or
we will need another infrastructure to serve as an ID service: additional
cost/maintenance. We already have unique IDs for all of our data entities. It
would make processing/maintenance much easier if our stable IDs can be used
directly
> Generalize VertexId in GraphX so that UUIDs can be used as vertex IDs.

> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: GraphX
> Affects Versions: 0.9.0
> Reporter: Deepak Nulu
>
> Currently, {{VertexId}} is a type-synonym for {{Long}}. I would like to be
> able to use {{UUID}} as the vertex ID type because the data I want to process
> with GraphX uses that type for its primay-keys. Others might have a different
> type for their primary-keys. Generalizing {{VertexId}} (with a type class)
> will help in such cases.
