Apache Spark Graph Processing

Joining average stats into a graph

The previous example shows us how flexible the aggregateMessages operator is. We can define the type Msg of the messages to be aggregated to fit our needs. Moreover, we can select which nodes receive the messages. Finally, we can also define how we want to merge the messages.

As a final example, let's aggregate many statistics about each team and join this information into the nodes of the graph:

   // Average Stats of All Teams case class TeamStat( wins: Int = 0 // Number of wins ,losses: Int = 0 // Number of losses ,ppg: Int = 0 // Points per game ,pcg: Int = 0 // Points conceded per game ,fgp: Double = 0 // Field goal percentage ,tpp: Double = 0 // Three point ...
