[jira] [Commented] (GIRAPH-180) Publish SNAPSHOTs and released artifacts in the Maven repository

In addition, the Maven repository which will be used for publishing Giraph artefacts can also be used for publishing Maven archetypes (basically project specific skeletton code without any functionallity). I was planning on making an initial version of a Maven archetype for a small Giraph job sometime in the next weeks. > Publish SNAPSHOTs and released artifacts in the Maven repository > > > Key: GIRAPH-180 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-180 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build >Affects Versions: 0.1.0 >Reporter: Paolo Castagna >Priority: Minor > Original Estimate: 4h > Remaining Estimate: 4h > > Currently Giraph uses Maven to drive its build. > However, no Maven artifacts nor SNAPSHOTs are published in the Apache Maven > repository or Maven central. > It would be useful to have Apache Giraph artifacts and SNAPSHOTs published > and enable people to use Giraph without recompiling themselves. > Right now users can checkout Giraph, mvn install it and use this for their > dependency: > > org.apache.giraph > giraph > 0.2-SNAPSHOT > > So, it's not that bad, but it can be better. :-) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[jira] [Commented] (GIRAPH-170) Workflow for loading RDF graph data into Giraph
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-170?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13257424#comment-13257424 ] Benjamin Heitmann commented on GIRAPH-170: -- Hello, and sorry for being late to contributing to this discussion. I am currently using Giraph to implement a graph based recommendation algorithm which uses RDF data from DBPedia. I am not sure if that is enough of a use case for Paolo. Generally speaking, statistical analysis of semantic networks should be the most general motivation for using Giraph on RDF. In other words: Since RDF has a native graph database model and RDF processing needs to happen on web scale, Giraph could be a natural fit for processing RDF, if it would support RDF input/ingestion in a native way. Regarding the fundamental capabilities required for parsing NTriple files with RDF: The TextInputFormat needs a way to retrieve and alter already created nodes. Currently the assumption for the TextInputFormat class, is that it will get exactly one line for each vertex to create. That one line is assumed to hold *all* information necessary to create the vertex. However, the NTriples format does not work that way, as it can use multiple lines to describe the same subject node. I already raised this issue on the user mailing list. (However I did not create a Jira issue for it.) This is the fundamental capability which is lacking in Giraph. If this is enabled, parsing NTriples will be easy. The starting points for the email threads in which this was shortly discussed are in [1] and [2]. AFAIR, Dionysis Logothetis suggested that he may look into adding this capability to giraph. So you might want to contact him directly to check on the progress. Now a few details on how I use RDF data for my Giraph job: Currently I use a subset of DBPedia, which is roughly 5.5GB unpacked. As this DBPedia subset stays static for all my recommendations, it is enough to preprocess it once using a quite simple MapReduce job. I basically join all lines on the subject of the triple, and then output the following line for each subject: SubjectURI NumberOfOutLinks Predicate1 Object1 ... PredicateN ObjectN (I call this the RDFAdjacencyCSV ;) For my specific algorithm, the direction of the the link in the RDF graph does not play any role, so for each input triple, I add it once to the subject entity and once to the object entity. The processing job took two days, but it was my first hadoop programm, so it probably was inefficient. The output size was 6GB. For running my algorithm, my Giraph job first loads the complete DBPedia dataset in memory. While doing this it also loads the user profiles from via DistributedCache.getLocalCacheFiles(conf). This is done in my own custom TextVertexInputFormat class. The profiles are used to prime the graph, i.e. to identify the starting points for the algorithm. I also need to manage which starting points belong to which user profiles. Challenges which I will have in the near future: * Giraph does not seem to scale very well for my kind of data and processing: Independent of the number of workers, my Giraph job only uses about 30% of a 24 node machine. And I would like to utilise all available processing resources. * Integration of RDF reasoning capabilities: I will need to perform subclass reasoning on the DBPedia graph. The most pragmatic solution seems to be, to have an external RDF store with reasoning, and to let the Giraph workers be able to query the RDF store.

If I have "subject1 predicate1 object1" and "subject1 predicate1 object2", then there will be a total of three vertices with 2 edges, without any conflict. If I have the same triple "subject1 predicate1 object1" two or more times, then the RDF semantics document states that all of these triples refer to the same two vertices and the edge between them in the RDF graph. So there is no need for a multigraph again. If we introduce literals into the mix, then we have the same thing as above, if each literal will be presented by its own Giraph vertex. I am not sure if I missed anything, but multigraphs dont seem to be the issue here, neither in theory, nor for my already working code. An issue which would be more important, is the capability to retrieve and modify an already created node from inside the TextVertexInputFormat class (as explained above). > Workflow for loading RDF graph data into Giraph > --- > > Key: GIRAPH-170 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-170 > Project: Giraph > Issue Type: New Feature >Reporter: Dan Brickley >Priority: Minor > > W3C RDF provides a family of Web standards for exchanging graph-based data. > RDF uses sets of simple binary relationships, labeling nodes and links with > Web identifiers (URIs).
