The GraphX API landscape
The next task in our to-do list is to take a quick look at the GraphX APIs. For the most part, the organization is the same, except for a couple of twists. The following figure shows the organization and categories of the APIs:
Objects such as Edge, EdgeRDD, and others are under org.apache.spark.graphx. The graph object has APIs such as triplets, persist, subgraph and so on. But the graph algorithms are separated under ops, which is a GraphOps object, to separate the algorithms from the graph implementation. Another quirk is lib, which has analytic functions such as SVD++, ShortestPath, and others. So navigate around the GraphX classes and you will find all the methods and classes.
Tip
One interesting thing to note is that the objects have a few methods that the class might not have. So take a look at the object methods if you cannot find them under the class:
