             Summary: GSoC project: Graph partitioning operators for Gelly
                 Key: FLINK-1536
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1536
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Gelly, Java API
            Reporter: Vasia Kalavri
            Priority: Minor


Smart graph partitioning can significantly improve the performance and scalability of graph analysis applications. Depending on the computation pattern, a graph partitioning algorithm divides the graph into (maybe overlapping) subgraphs, optimizing some objective. For example, if communication is performed across graph edges, one might want to minimize the edges that cross from one partition to another.

The problem of graph partitioning is a well studied problem and several algorithms have been proposed in the literature. The goal of this project would be to choose a few existing partitioning techniques and implement the corresponding graph partitioning operators for Gelly.

Some related literature can be found [here| http://www.citeulike.org/user/vasiakalavri/tag/graph-partitioning].
