Claudio Martella created GIRAPH-549:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Tinkerpop/Blueprints/Rexter InputFormat
                 Key: GIRAPH-549
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-549
             Project: Giraph
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Claudio Martella


A lot of people misunderstand a graphdb with a large-scale graph processing engine, and have asked us before how to run queries etc with Giraph. Nonetheless, giraph can be an OLAP for graphdbs. users having their data stored in their graphdb(s) might want to load their data into Giraph to run analytics.

We can use the API layer offered by Tinkerpop/Blueprints (https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki) on top of many graphdbs. In particular, we can use the REST layer on top of Blueprints offered by Rexter (https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster).

Quite opportunistically, one option would be to use Faunus's (https://github.com/thinkaurelius/faunus) Rextex-based InputFormat for Mapreduce (https://github.com/thinkaurelius/faunus/tree/master/src/main/java/com/thinkaurelius/faunus/formats/rexster).
