> This would be a breaking change so the discussion needs to happen before the 1.0.0 release.
> I think it would benefit Flink to use {{Value}} types wherever possible. The {{Graph}} functions {{inDegrees}}, {{outDegrees}}, and {{getDegrees}} each return {{DataSet<Tuple2<K, Long>>}}. Using {{Long}} creates a new heap object for every serialization and deserialization. The mutable {{Value}} types do not suffer from this issue when object reuse is enabled.
> I lean towards a preference for conciseness in documentation and performance in examples and APIs.
