Graphalytics GraphX platform extension

Getting started

Please refer to the documentation of the Graphalytics core (graphalytics repository) for an introduction to using Graphalytics.

GraphX-specific benchmark configuration

The graphx benchmark uses YARN version 2.4.1 or later (earlier versions have not been attempted) to deploy Spark. Before launching the benchmark, ensure Hadoop is running in either pseudo-distributed or distributed mode. Next, edit config/platform.properties and change the following settings:

• platform.graphx.job.num-executors: Set to the number of Spark workers to use.
• platform.graphx.job.executor-memory: Set to the amount of memory to reserve in YARN for each worker.
• platform.graphx.job.executor-cores: Set to the number of cores available to each worker.
• platform.hadoop.home: Set to the root of your Hadoop installation ($HADOOP_HOME).
