Github user ankurdave commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/3866#issuecomment-68906303 I'm not sure I understand the problems you're trying to solve in this PR. Is this an accurate summary: 1. Activeness based on whether a vertex attribute changed from one superstep to the next (not implemented in the code yet?). An alternative to using an `isAttrChanged` flag could be to use a VertexRDD join such as [VertexRDD#diff](https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/graphx/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/graphx/VertexRDD.scala#L128). 2. Arbitrary convergence tests based on iteration number and number of active messages (implemented using `isTerminal`). What is the use case for this? 3. Optional initial message (implemented by making `initialMsg` an `Option`).
