Thank you Robin for your reply. Actually I am adding bunch of vertices in a graph in graphx using the following method . I am facing the problem of latency. First time an addition of say 400 vertices to a graph with 100,000 nodes takes around 7 seconds. next time its taking 15 seconds. So every subsequent adds are taking more time than the previous one. Hence I tried to do reindex() so the subsequent operations can also be performed fast.
FYI My cluster is presently having one machine with 8 core and 8 gb ram. I am running in local mode. def addVertex(rdd: RDD[String], sc: SparkContext, session: String): Long = { val defaultUser = (0, 0) rdd.collect().foreach { x => { val aVertex: RDD[(VertexId, (Int, Int))] = sc.parallelize(Array((x.toLong, (100, 100)))) gVertices = gVertices.union(aVertex) } } inputGraph = Graph(gVertices, gEdges, defaultUser) inputGraph.cache() gVertices = inputGraph.vertices gVertices.cache() val count = gVertices.count println(count); return 1; } From: Robin East [mailto:robin.e...@xense.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2016 8:15 PM To: Udbhav Agarwal <udbhav.agar...@syncoms.com> Subject: Re: Reindexing in graphx Hi Well this is the line that is failing in VertexRDDImpl: require(partitionsRDD.partitioner.isDefined) But really you shouldn’t need to be calling the reindex() function as it deals with some internals of the GraphX implementation - it looks to me like it ought to be a private method. Perhaps you could explain what you are trying to achieve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin East Spark GraphX in Action Michael Malak and Robin East Manning Publications Co. http://www.manning.com/books/spark-graphx-in-action On 23 Feb 2016, at 12:18, Udbhav Agarwal <udbhav.agar...@syncoms.com<mailto:udbhav.agar...@syncoms.com>> wrote: Hi, I am trying to add vertices to a graph in graphx and I want to do reindexing in the graph. I can see there is an option of vertices.reindex() in graphX. But when I am doing graph.vertices.reindex() am getting Java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed. Please help me know what I am missing with the syntax as I have seen the API documentation where only vertices.reindex() is mentioned. Thanks, Udbhav Agarwal
