GraphComputer (Apache TinkerPop 3.1.7-SNAPSHOT API)

```
public interface GraphComputer
```
The GraphComputer is responsible for the execution of a VertexProgram and then a set of MapReduce jobs over the vertices in the Graph. It is up to the GraphComputer implementation to determine the appropriate memory structures given the computing substrate.

- Method Detail
  - result
```
GraphComputer result(GraphComputer.ResultGraph resultGraph)
```
    Set the GraphComputer.ResultGraph of the computation. If this is not set explicitly by the user, then the VertexProgram can choose the most efficient result for its intended use. If there is no declared vertex program, then the GraphComputer defaults to GraphComputer.ResultGraph.ORIGINAL.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resultGraph - the type of graph to be returned by ComputerResult.graph()
    
    Returns:
    
    the updated GraphComputer with newly set result graph
  - persist
```
GraphComputer persist(GraphComputer.Persist persist)
```
    Set the GraphComputer.Persist level of the computation. If this is not set explicitly by the user, then the VertexProgram can choose the most efficient persist for the its intended use. If there is no declared vertex program, then the GraphComputer defaults to GraphComputer.Persist.NOTHING.
    
    Parameters:
    
    persist - the persistence level of the resultant computation
    
    Returns:
    
    the updated GraphComputer with newly set persist
  - program
```
GraphComputer program(VertexProgram vertexProgram)
```
    Set the VertexProgram to be executed by the GraphComputer. There can only be one VertexProgram for the GraphComputer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    vertexProgram - the VertexProgram to be executed
    
    Returns:
    
    the updated GraphComputer with newly set VertexProgram
  - mapReduce
```
GraphComputer mapReduce(MapReduce mapReduce)
```
    Add a MapReduce job to the set of MapReduce jobs to be executed by the GraphComputer. There can be any number of MapReduce jobs.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mapReduce - the MapReduce job to add to the computation
    
    Returns:
    
    the updated GraphComputer with newly added MapReduce job
  - workers
```
GraphComputer workers(int workers)
```
    Set the desired number of workers to execute the VertexProgram and MapReduce jobs. This is a recommendation to the underlying GraphComputer implementation and is allowed to deviate accordingly by the implementation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    workers - the number of workers to execute the submission
    
    Returns:
    
    the updated GraphComputer with newly set worker count
  - configure
```
default GraphComputer configure(String key,
                                Object value)
```
    Set an arbitrary configuration key/value for the underlying Configuration in the GraphComputer. Typically, the other fluent methods in GraphComputer should be used to configure the computation. However, for some custom configuration in the underlying engine, this method should be used. Different GraphComputer implementations will have different key/values and thus, parameters placed here are generally not universal to all GraphComputer implementations. The default implementation simply does nothing and returns the GraphComputer unchanged.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key of the configuration
    
    value - the value of the configuration
    
    Returns:
    
    the updated GraphComputer with newly set key/value configuration
  - submit
```
Future<ComputerResult> submit()
```
    Submit the VertexProgram and the set of MapReduce jobs for execution by the GraphComputer.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Future denoting a reference to the asynchronous computation and where to get the DefaultComputerResult when its is complete.
  - features
```
default GraphComputer.Features features()
```
