All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, Tool

public class Loops
extends Configured
implements Tool

The Loops job identifies cycles of loops inside of the web graph. This is then used in the LinkRank program to remove those links from consideration during link analysis. This job will identify both reciprocal links and cycles of 2+ links up to a set depth to check. The Loops job is expensive in both computational and space terms. Because it checks outlinks of outlinks of outlinks for cycles its intermediate output can be extremely large even if the end output is rather small. Because of this the Loops job is optional and if it doesn't exist then it won't be factored into the LinkRank program.
