I worked on this feature sometime back - but I only worked on inputting hive file & not hdfs You can use logic outside giraph to select which partition file to use - this is possible because you input the number of workers anyway.For instance in the script that you use to launch a giraph job have a selection logic for the partition file You can take a look at : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-908You might have to extend upon the jira for your specific use case - I only added support for case when id = longwritable Here is a list of options you might want to explore # Mapping Store related information -Dgiraph.mappingStoreClass=org.apache.giraph.mapping.LongByteMappingStore -Dgiraph.lbMappingStoreUpper=1987000 -Dgiraph.lbMappingStoreLower=4096 # Mapping tore ops information -Dgiraph.mappingStoreOpsClass=org.apache.giraph.mapping.DefaultEmbeddedLongByteOps # Embed mapping information -Dgiraph.edgeTranslationClass=org.apache.giraph.mapping.translate.LongByteTranslateEdge # PartitionerFactory to be used -Dgiraph.graphPartitionerFactoryClass=org.apache.giraph.partition.LongMappingStorePartitionerFactory So the partition map is stored here as map of byte arrays. with .lbMappingStoreUpper being size of map and lbMappingStoreLower being size of individual arrays Please explore code & tell me what else you need.ThanksDate: Sat, 27 Sep 2014 22:51:29 -0700 Subject: Re: Using a custom graph partitioning stratergy with giraph From: charith.dhanus...@gmail.com To: user@giraph.apache.org
Also adding some more information. My current understanding is I should be able to do this by my own org.apache.giraph.partition.WorkerGraphPartitioner implementation. But my question is, Is there are a way to get some outside input inside the WorkerGraphPartitioner?In my case it will be an hdfs file location.

In my case i want to assign vertices to workers based on a custom partitioner input. In my case partitioner will take number of workers as an input parameter and give me a file which maps each vertex id to a worker. I m trying load this file to a hdfs location and use it as an input to the giraph and do the vertex assignment. Any suggestions or pointers on best way to this will be highly appricated (Use the current extention points of giraph as much as possible to avoid random hacks). I m currently using giraph-1.0.0.
