Having instance variables inside of Vertex wasn't the right thing to do in 1.0 (from old Vertex javadoc "Giraph will store Vertex value and edges, hence all user data should be stored as part of the vertex value."). So if this data is a part of vertex state, you should put it in vertex value.

Actually this broke my code because, for some reason, I have some instance variables in the vertex class (some flags, lists) apart from the vertex value. When I adapt the code to use the computation class, I can't find a way to put these instance variables into each vertex. So do we have something like setCustomVertexClass? How could I achieve this in 1.1.0? Thanks. -- JU Han Software Engineer Intern @ KXEN Inc.
