Description

When I run my code with out-of-core graph/message options OFF, it's fine. But when out-of-core graph/message options ON, then some workers give me exception messages like below and whole tasks suspends.

This exception occurs when superstep = -1.

Strange things are that i) when I give option to run the job with equal or less than 10 workers, or ii ) when I run one of the example codes in giraph-examples - particularly, SimpleShortestPath with 32 workers, the job finishes fine. The exceptions only occur when I run my own code with larger than 10 workers. Then it goes out of the way.

I found that there was a similar - yet as far as I know, the very same problem before in GIRAPH-462, but the issue is marked as 'Resolved' and 'Fixed'. Does this issue really fixed and am I just doing wrong?

My input size was 75 MBytes with about 1 million nodes but I tested and found this problem does not depends on the input sizes.
