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. 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.
