Thanks Pavan, I get the high level level idea. I am still new to Giraph code base so I am still trying to understand the overall design.
So I have few questions regarding this feature. Can we use this feature with a vertex input format without using edge translation? (Since getPartition in MappingStoreOps can be used to get the partition of any target vertex) Also, since I have mapping information in a separate file do I need to embed target information in the vertex? It will be great if you could explain your scenario with dataformat you used and what extension points you used so that I can understand it better and adapt to my scenario.
