Hi Nick, Are you using WorkerContext to register the aggregator? You need to override the preApplication() method in WorkerContext to register the aggregator and then override the preSuperstep() method to to tell the workers to use the aggregator (the useAggregator() method). Check the MasterCompute and WorkerContext examples in Giraph.

Kaushik
