Vertex data not persisted through supersteps

[Kai Schlegel]

Hi everybody,

I encounter a strange behaviour in my Apache Giraph implementations.

In my computation I want to update a counter in my vertex data object. But in 
the end or even in the next superstep the counter is always zero. Do I forget 
something simple? Do I have to manually update the vertex value object?

Simple Example: 

>> In compute:
...
MyVertextData vertexValue = vertex.getValue();
vertextvalue.increaseCounter();
…

<<

>> MyVertextData.class
…
private Integer counter = 0;

 @Override
public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
    out.writeInt(this.counter);
}

@Override
public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
    this.counter = in.readInt()
}

public void increaseCounter() {
    this.counter = this.counter + 1;
}
<<

Thank you in advance!

Greetings!
