Edges "combine" differently than vertexes. By default, each edge you read is added to the adjacency set of the source vertex (all edges are directed in Giraph, if you had not realized that yet). So if you read multiple edge for the same source -> target, they will all be represented in the source vertex's edges.
If you actually need to combine edges there are two way to go about it. 1) (easy but unelegant) deal with the fact in your compute 2) (more involved but efficient) write your own OutEdges class, unless one already exists that does what you need. ________________________________ From: Carmen Manzulli [carmenmanzu...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2014 1:56 AM To: user@giraph.apache.org Subject: Re: concept of vertex in giraph ah ok, thanksa lot!...so is the same for edgevalues and targetvertexids??? i need to use combiners, can you show me where can i read more information about? 2014-07-25 10:52 GMT+02:00 Lukas Nalezenec <lukas.naleze...@firma.seznam.cz<mailto:lukas.naleze...@firma.seznam.cz>>: Hi, Afaik vertex ids must be unique but you can combine vertexes with same ID to one using VertexValueCombiner.

Carmen (vertexId) 1,60 m (vertex value)... does it became Carmen -->24 -->1,60 from a point of view conceptual?
