This topic uses the SSSP algorithm as an example to describe how to submit Graph jobs.

Submitting a Graph job is similar to submitting a MapReduce job. Maven users can search odps-sdk-graph at Maven library to download the preferred Java SDK (available in different versions). The configuration information is as follows: 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.aliyun.odps</groupId>
    <artifactId>odps-sdk-graph</artifactId>
    <version>0.20.7</version>
</dependency>

Procedure

  1. Log on to the console and run odpscmd.
  2. Create input and output tables.
    create table sssp_in (v bigint, es string);
create table sssp_out (v bigint, l bigint);

    For more information about table creation statements, see Table operations.

  3. Upload data.
    Local data is as follows: 
    2, 2, 3, 4, 4
2 1:2,3:2,4:1
3 1:1,2:2,5:1
4 1:4,2:1,5:1
5 3:1,4:1
    A space is used to separate two columns. 
    tunnel u -fd " " sssp.txt sssp_in;
  4. Compile an SSSP example.
    Compile and debug the SSSP example on your local PC by following the instructions provided in Detailed introduction. In this example, the code is packaged as the odps-graph-example-sssp.jar file.
    Note You only need to package the SSSP code. You do not need to package the SDK in the odps-graph-example-sssp.jar file.
  5. Add JAR resources.
    add jar $LOCAL_JAR_PATH/odps-graph-example-sssp.jar
    Note For more information, see Resources operations.
  6. Run SSSP.
    jar -libjars odps-graph-example-sssp.jar -classpath $LOCAL_JAR_PATH/odps-graph-example-sssp.jar com.aliyun.odps.graph.example.SSSP 1 sssp_in sssp_out;

    JAR commands are used to run MaxCompute Graph jobs in the same way as the commands for running MapReduce jobs.

    When a Graph job is running, the corresponding instance ID, progress, and result summary are displayed in the command output, for example: 
    ID = 20130730160742915gl205u3

    Note To use the Graph function, you only need to open and submit a Graph job.
