Currently aggregators are the only way that the master can communicate to the workers with user code. If you have any suggestions for additional methods, we'd like to hear about it! Avery On 6/4/13 8:05 AM, David Gainer wrote: Thanks. That does the trick. To set the variable in the master

Thanks. That does the trick. To set the variable in the master that the workers can see I'm using an aggregator - even though it doesn't do any aggregating. It works - but is this the right way to go about that? From: Avery Ching [mailto:ach...@apache.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 04,

Rather than use voteToHalt, you could add an Aggregator that kept track of the "alive vertices" and then you can use an Aggregator to store/set your configuration value that the Master computation can modify. Do the logic in the Master computation and all should be well. Avery On 6/3/13 10:0
