Hi, I am new to Spark and GraphX (I have read the documentation and tried out basic Spark examples).
I am interested in using GraphX to process some data in my DB. I use UUIDs to identify my data, but I see that GraphX uses Long to identify the vertices (VertexId is defined to be of type Long). I can redefine VertexId to be java.util.UUID and see if it compiles and continues to work, but I am concerned that this may not work in future releases even if it works now. I did not want to log an enhancement ticket for this without first asking about this on the mailing list. Also, I was not sure if this should be on the developer list (most of the posts I saw on that list were related to pull-requests). I skipped the Bagel documentation since it said it was being replaced with GraphX. I could be wrong, but a brief scan of Bagel documentation gave me the impression that I might be able to use Bagel with UUID identifiers. So if GraphX is considered a replacement for Bagel, I am hoping UUIDs will be supported in GraphX. Maybe the Graph can be parameterized with the type of the vertex-ID? Any thoughts on how I should proceed? Is this of interest to anyone else? Thanks. -deepak -- View this message in context: http://apache-spark-user-list.1001560.n3.nabble.com/GraphX-with-UUID-vertex-IDs-instead-of-Long-tp1953.html Sent from the Apache Spark User List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
