Hi @vasia,
thanks for your comments! I thought about this extension in a different
way. Whenever you have a graph that is too big to process it with delta
iteration you could just turn on bulk mode to get the computation done. It will
be a lot slower, but sometimes this might be better then not getting any
results.
I dont think a dedicated bulk operator would be very useful. People can
just use plain Flink if they dont need the Pregel abstraction. And in most
cases it would be much slower then using the current solution.
You know gelly and its usecases a lot better then me. If you dont think
that a mode like this might be userful I am totally find with that. It is a
very small change anyway.
