I meant to ask whether it gives the solution faster than other algorithms. What do you mean by distributed algorithms? Can we not use any algorithm on a distributed environment? Thank You On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 3:41 PM, Ankur Dave wrote: > At 2014-11-18 15:29:08 +0530, Deep Pradhan > wrote: >

So "landmark" can contain just one vertex right? Which algorithm has been used to compute the shortest path? Thank You On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 2:53 PM, Ankur Dave wrote: > At 2014-11-17 14:47:50 +0530, Deep Pradhan > wrote: > > I was going through the graphx section in the Spark API in > > > h

Landmarks in GraphX section of Spark API

Hi, I was going through the graphx section in the Spark API in https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.graphx.lib.ShortestPaths$ Here, I find the word "landmark". Can anyone explain to me what is landmark means. Is it a simple English word or does it mean somethi
