Hi everyone, Thanks for starting the discussion :)
We (Alink team [1]) are actually using part of the Gelly library to support graph algorithms (connected component, single source shortest path, etc.) for users in Alibaba Inc. As DataSet API is going to be dropped, shall we also provide a new graph library based on DataStream runtime (similar as we did for machine learning)?
