>                 Key: GIRAPH-1136
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-1136
>             Project: Giraph
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: bsp
>    Affects Versions: 1.2.0
>            Reporter: Nic Eggert
>
> From Practical Analytics with Apache Giraph:
> {quote}
> If checkpoints are enabled, you are guaranteed to have the initial graph data safely stored in HDFS.
> {quote}
> Looking at the current code in {{o.a.g.master.BspServiceMaster:getCheckpointStatus}}, it looks like this is no longer the case. After a little bit of digging, it looks like this change was introduced here: https://github.com/apache/giraph/commit/5adca63deca25d84f4fdea053c35a85efc8bbb3d#diff-e16fdec9e3f573eba64cfe6eab512e19L657 (GIRAPH-993)
> Was this change intentional? It seems like an initial checkpoint would be desirable (I have a job where 1/3 of the runtime is spent loading input splits).
> The simplest fix would be to just add a special case for Superstep 0. If that's acceptable, I'd be happy to submit a PR.
