Hi Greg,

it seems that it doesn’t matter with the vertex „3“ with no degree.
I removed these vertex in the graph and in a second test of my input file. The 
ranking order is still different, and I guess wrong. Furthermore is the sum of 
all ranks not 1. It depends on the beta-parameter. E.g. a beta of 0.15 on the 
sg PageRank calculate
(2.0 , 0.38102628032106706)
(4.0 , 0.4547945998174918)
(1.0 , 0.4341925979005684)

The sg and a beta of 0.85 returns:
(2.0 , 97.53826698457634)
(4.0 , 140.49741661507886)
(1.0 , 135.265886297257)

All of these are issues of vertex-centric, sg and gsa implementation. The last 
one (without any graph model) works fine.

Do you have any idea what I doing wrong?

Thanks for your explanation.

The vertex-centric, sg and gsa PageRank need a Double as vertex value. A 
VertexDegree function generate a vertex with a LongValue as value.
Maybe I can iterate over the graph and remove all edges with a degree of zero?!

The current algorithm is unweighted though we should definitely look to add a 
weighted variant and consider PersonalizedPageRank as well.

Looking at your results, PageRank scores should sum to 1.0, should be positive 
unless the damping factor is 1.0, and use of the convergence threshold will 
guarantee accurate results on large graphs.

The PageRank tests compare results from the NetworkX implementation. The 
missing vertex 3 is trivially fixed by adding the call 
".setIncludeZeroDegreeVertices(true)” to the VertexDegrees function.

Hi Greg,

I do an evaluation between Gelly and GraphX (Spark). Both frameworks implement 
PageRank and Gelly provides a lot of variants (*thumbs up*).
During a really small initial test I get for the vertex-centric, scatter-gather 
and gsa version the same ranking result. Just the implementation in 1.3.X 
(without any graph model) computed a different result (ranking).


/* vertex centric */
DataSet<Vertex<Double, Double>> pagerankVC = small.run(new PageRank<>(0.5, 10));
System.err.println("VC");
pagerankVC.printToErr();

/* scatter gather */
DataSet<Vertex<Double, Double>> pageRankSG = small
    .run(new org.apache.flink.graph.library.PageRank<>(0.5, 10));
System.err.println("SG");
pageRankSG.printToErr();

/* gsa */
DataSet<Vertex<Double, Double>> pageRankGSA = small.run(new GSAPageRank<>(0.5, 
10));
System.err.println("GSA");
pageRankGSA.printToErr();

/* without graph model */
DataSet<Result<Double>> pageRankDI = small
    .run(new PageRank<>(0.5, 10));
System.err.println("delta iteration");
pageRankDI.printToErr();

My input graph is:
vertices

  *   id 1, val 0
  *   id 2, val 0
  *   id 3, val 0
  *   id 4, val 0

edges

  *   src 1, trg 2, val 3
  *   src 1, trg 1, val 2
  *   src 2, trg 1, val 3
  *   src 2, trg 4, val 6

Ranking output

  *   vertex-centric
     *   id 4 with 1.16
     *   id 1 with 1.103
     *   id 2 with 0.815
     *   id 3 with 0
  *   sg and gsa
     *   id 4 with 2.208
     *   id 1 with 2.114
     *   id 2 with 1.546
     *   id 3 with 0
  *   new PageRank in Gelly 1.3.X
     *   id 1 with 0.392
     *   id 2 with 0.313
     *   id 4 with 0.294

Do you know why?

Hi Marc,

PageRank and GSAPageRank were moved to the flink-gelly-examples jar in the 
org.apache.flink.graph.examples package. A library algorithm was added that 
supports both source and sink vertices. This limitation of the old algorithms 
was noted in the class documentation and I understand to be an effect of delta 
iterations. The new implementation is also significantly faster 
(https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2733#issuecomment-278789830).

PageRank can be run using the examples jar from the command line, for example 
(don’t wildcard the jar file as in the documentation until we get the javadoc 
jar removed from the next release).

$ mv opt/flink-gelly* lib/
$ ./bin/flink run examples/gelly/flink-gelly-examples_2.11-1.3.1.jar \
    --algorithm PageRank \
    --input CSV --type integer --simplify directed --input_filename <filename> 
--input_field_delimiter $'\t' \
    --output print

The output can also be written to CSV in similar fashion to the input.

The code to call the library PageRank from the examples driver is as with any 
GraphAlgorithm 
(https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.3/flink-libraries/flink-gelly-examples/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/graph/drivers/PageRank.java):

graph.run(new PageRank<K, VV, EV>(dampingFactor, iterations,  
convergenceThreshold));

Please let us know of any issues or additional questions!

Greg

Hi there,

why was the PageRank version (which implements the GraphAlgorithm interface) 
removed in 1.3?

How can I use the new PageRank implementation in 1.3.x?

Why PageRank doesn’t use the graph processing models (vertex-centric, sg or 
gsa) anymore?

Thanks!

Bests,
marc
