Hey guys sorry for the confusion, we're busting our humps to get a release done and the docs on the wiki are next up after that (and a book in the works as well)
So...here's the problem. Benchmarks are old code, and work great for us but run using the API you described. EXAMPLES however, use a newer execution command. You want to run org.apache.giraph.GiraphRunner with the hadoop jar command. the first argument to this will be the name of the example class you wan tot run (SimpleShortestPathsVertex in your case) try something like (I'm simplifying here): hadoop jar --config etc/hadoop path/to/giraph/examples.jar org.apache.giraph.GiraphRunner org.apache.giraph.examples.SimpleShortestPathsVertex ... where "..." is the in/out dirs on HDFS, other command line switches like -w and even optional hadoop/giraph config params with -ca key1=val1,key2=val2,... and others -- use -h option with GiraphRunner (I think) to get a dump of the command line opts that are not specific to just one example, you will have to refer to the source code to see what custom options an application might have. Hope this helps, sorry for the frustration. Spread the word, docs are coming!
