Hi Kaan,

I think what you are proposing is something like this:

Graph<Long, Double, Double> graph = ... // get first batch

Graph<Long, Double, Double> graphAfterFirstSG =
graph.runScatterGatherIteration();

Graph<Long, Double, Double> secondBatch = ... // get second batch

// Adjust the result of SG iteration with secondBatch

Graph<Long, Double, Double> updatedGraph =
graphAfterFirstSG.union/difference(secondBatch));

updatedGraph.runScatterGatherIteration();

Then I believe this should work.

Cheers,
Till
