Hi All I've been looking around for any documentation about running Giraph on Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) and didn't turn up anything particularly useful.
It looks like the only real requirements to run on EMR are to add Bootstrap actions to the Job Flow configuration to apply the relevant Hadoop configuration settings e.g. increasing max map tasks. After that it looks like I should just need to use a standard Custom JAR launch step to launch the Giraph Runner with appropriate arguments for my Giraph program. Before I start trying to do this and incurring EC2 costs does anyone have experience of running Giraph applications on EMR that they are willing to share? Any suggestions, tips, common pitfalls etc I should be aware of? Cheers, Rob
