The Spark Graphx library provides built-in implementations for some very popular graph algorithms. These implementations help to perform various graph-based analytics in a simplified manner. The org.apache.Spark.graphx.GraphOps API allows for executing these operations on the graph. In this section, we will run graph-based analytics using the following implementations:
Graph algorithms
PageRank
PageRank is one of the most popular algorithms in graph theory. It is used to rank the vertices based on their importance. The importance of a vertex is calculated by the number of edges directed to the vertex. For example, a user is highly ranked on Twitter based on their followers, that is, the number of directed edges to that user...
