The EdgeTriplet class extends the Edge class by adding the srcAttr andĭstAttr members which contain the source and destination properties respectively. attr FROM edges AS e LEFT JOIN vertices AS src, vertices AS dst ON e. Join can be expressed in the following SQL expression: SELECT src. RDD] containing instances of the EdgeTriplet class. The triplet view logically joins the vertex and edge properties yielding an In addition to the vertex and edge views of the property graph, GraphX also exposes a triplet view. The vertices and edges of the graph: class Graph. As a consequence, the graph class contains members to access

Logically the property graph corresponds to a pair of typed collections (RDDs) encoding the RDDs, each partition of the graph can be recreated on a different machine in the event of a failure. Graph is partitioned across the executors using a range of vertex partitioning heuristics. That substantial parts of the original graph (i.e., unaffected structure, attributes, and indices)Īre reused in the new graph reducing the cost of this inherently functional data structure. Structure of the graph are accomplished by producing a new graph with the desired changes. Like RDDs, property graphs are immutable, distributed, and fault-tolerant. For example to model users and products as aīipartite graph we might do the following: class VertexProperty () case class UserProperty ( val name : String ) extends VertexProperty case class ProductProperty ( val name : String, val price : Double ) extends VertexProperty // The graph might then have the type: var graph : Graph = null This can be accomplished through inheritance. In some cases it may be desirable to have vertices with different property types in the same graph. (e.g., int, double, etc…) reducing the in memory footprint by storing them in specialized GraphX optimizes the representation of vertex and edge types when they are primitive data types TheseĪre the types of the objects associated with each vertex and edge respectively. The property graph is parameterized over the vertex ( VD) and edge ( ED) types. Similarly, edges have corresponding source and destination vertex GraphX does not impose any ordering constraints on Unique 64-bit long identifier ( VertexId).

Relationships (e.g., co-worker and friend) between the same vertices. TheĪbility to support parallel edges simplifies modeling scenarios where there can be multiple Graph with potentially multiple parallel edges sharing the same source and destination vertex. With user defined objects attached to each vertex and edge. The property graph is a directed multigraph Getting started with Spark refer to the Spark Quick Start Guide. If you are not using the Spark shell you will also need a SparkContext. To get started you first need to import Spark and GraphX into your project, as follows: import ._ import ._ // To make some of the examples work we will also need RDD import .RDD In addition, GraphX includes a growing collection of graph algorithms andīuilders to simplify graph analytics tasks. Operators (e.g., subgraph, joinVertices, andĪggregateMessages) as well as an optimized variant of the Pregel API. To support graph computation, GraphX exposes a set of fundamental New Graph abstraction: a directed multigraph with propertiesĪttached to each vertex and edge. GraphX extends the Spark RDD by introducing a GraphX is a new component in Spark for graphs and graph-parallel computation. Map Reduce Triplets Transition Guide (Legacy).
