class AggregateMessages extends Arguments with Serializable

This is a primitive for implementing graph algorithms. This method aggregates messages from the neighboring edges and vertices of each vertex.

For each triplet (source vertex, edge, destination vertex) in GraphFrame.triplets, this can send a message to the source and/or destination vertices.

  • AggregateMessages.sendToSrc() sends a message to the source vertex of each triplet
  • AggregateMessages.sendToDst() sends a message to the destination vertex of each triplet
  • AggregateMessages.agg specifies an aggregation function for aggregating the messages sent to each vertex. It also runs the aggregation, computing a DataFrame with one row for each vertex which receives > 0 messages. The DataFrame has 2 columns:
    • vertex column ID (named GraphFrame.ID)
    • aggregate from messages sent to vertex (with the name given to the Column specified in AggregateMessages.agg())

When specifying the messages and aggregation function, the user may reference columns using:

Note: If you use this operation to write an iterative algorithm, you may want to use getCachedDataFrame() as a workaround for caching issues.

Example:

  1. We can use this function to compute the in-degree of each vertex

    val g: GraphFrame = Graph.textFile("twittergraph")
val inDeg: DataFrame =
  g.aggregateMessages().sendToDst(lit(1)).agg(sum(AggregateMessagesBuilder.msg))

    Run the aggregation, specifying SQL expression as a String

    See the overloaded method documentation for more details.

  7. def agg(aggCol: Column): DataFrame

    Run the aggregation, returning the resulting DataFrame of aggregated messages.

    Run the aggregation, returning the resulting DataFrame of aggregated messages. This is a lazy operation, so the DataFrame will not be materialized until an action is executed on it.

    This returns a DataFrame with schema:

    • column "id": vertex ID
    • aggCol: aggregate result If you need to join this with the original GraphFrame.vertices, you can run an inner join of the form:
    val g: GraphFrame = ...
val aggResult = g.AggregateMessagesBuilder.sendToSrc(msg).agg(aggFunc)
aggResult.join(g.vertices, ID)
