Class MessageScope.Local<M>

  • Type Parameters:
    M - The VertexProgram message class
    Enclosing class:
    MessageScope

    public static final class MessageScope.Local<M>
    extends MessageScope
    A Local message is directed to an adjacent (or "memory adjacent") vertex. The adjacent vertex set is defined by the provided Traversal that dictates how to go from the sending vertex to the receiving vertex. This is the preferred message scope as it can potentially be optimized by the underlying Messenger implementation. The preferred optimization is to not distribute a message object to all adjacent vertices. Instead, allow the recipients to read a single message object stored at the "sending" vertex. This is possible via `Traversal.reverse()`. This optimizations greatly reduces the amount of data created in the computation.
