Deploying a distributed version of the Links 'R' Us PageRank calculator

The PageRank calculator is the only component of the Links 'R' Us project that we haven't yet been able to horizontally scale on Kubernetes. Back in Chapter 8, Graph-Based Data Processing, where we used the bspgraph package to implement the PageRank algorithm, I promised you that a few chapters down the road, we would take the PageRank calculator code, and without any code modifications, enable it to run in distributed mode.

After completing this chapter, I strongly recommend, as a fun learning exercise, taking a look at using the dbspgraph package to build a distributed version of either the graph coloring or the shortest path algorithms from Chapter 8, Graph-Based Data ...
