All you need to know about the topic
Web and online social graphs have been rapidly growing in size and scale during the past decade.
Processing such graphs, which consist of millions of vertices and hundreds of millions to billions of edges, is a huge technical challenge.
Experience shows that the Map/Reduce paradigm is not a good fit for working with large graph structures.
This talk will give an introduction to Apache Giraph, a system that implements the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model in a way that is extremely well suited for implementing graph algorithms.
Giraph is a young project which is currently being developed by people from leading internet companies such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and can be run on standard Hadoop infrastructure.
