Dynamic graph / iterative computation on Apache Giraph. Apache Giraph is an iterative graph processing system inspired by Pregel that runs on Hadoop. It allows modeling problems as a series of messages passed between graph vertices. Giraph has been used for applications like page rank, affinity propagation, and mutual friends calculation. It provides faster computation than Hive and scales to trillions of edges. Future work includes automatic checkpointing and investigating alternative computing models.
