Hi,

I am testing out SparkGraphComputer for OLAP queries, directly reading data from a JG-Cassandra-ES instance. Everything is running on a single VM, and I have built JG on the box but cloning the repo. Using hadoop version 2.7.1 with Spark 1.6.1. Cassandra version 2.1.9 (same as packaged).

I am using the properties file mentioned in this SO thread - mostly because the setup matches with mine. I initially tried out with a smaller graph having ~1K nodes and 1.5K edges, and things seem to work fine. However when I try OLAP queries with ~300K nodes, I am facing various issues.

• Initially, I got hit by the Exception: "java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Frame size (20784689) larger than max length (15728640)!". After some reasearch, I added the following line to the properties file: cassandra.thrift.framed.size_mb=200
• In the next try, the Cassandra process died when I tried running the query. The gremlin server and ES processes were running though.
  

gremlin> graph = GraphFactory.open("conf/hadoop-graph/read-cassandra.properties")
==>hadoopgraph[cassandrainputformat->gryooutputformat]
gremlin> g = graph.traversal().withComputer(SparkGraphComputer)
==>graphtraversalsource[hadoopgraph[cassandrainputformat->gryooutputformat], sparkgraphcomputer]
gremlin> g.V().count()
[Stage 0:===21:16:23 ERROR org.apache.spark.executor.Executor  - Exception in task 4.0 in stage 0.0 (TID 4)
java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException
...

...

...

...

• I restarted janusgraph and retried the same query. This time the query went through, but the same exception reappeared when I tried a groupCount.

gremlin> g.V().count()
                                                                        ==>108156
gremlin> g.V().groupCount().by(T.label)

java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException

• Another restart, and the groupCount() query went through, but the gremlin shell got killed when I tried the count query. All three daemons (gremlin, Cassandra and ES) were still running though.
  

gremlin> g.V().groupCount().by(T.label)

samik@samik-lap:~/git/janusgraph$ Write failed: Broken pipe

These all seems pretty erratic to me. Any suggestions on getting consistent result with this?

Regards.
