[Swift-devel] Iterative PageRank in Swift

Zhao,

The immediate failure in the run below seems to be due to partition() not creating the following 16 files below its *work* directory:

_concurrent/fn-139240b8-81cc-4b22-8088-aa5aedd98afe--array//elt-3-0
_concurrent/fn-139240b8-81cc-4b22-8088-aa5aedd98afe--array//elt-3-1
...
_concurrent/fn-139240b8-81cc-4b22-8088-aa5aedd98afe--array//elt-3-15

Im assuming mapper.sh gets the name of an element of fn[], which has been mapped by the concurrent mapper, and returns an array mapping of the original name suffixed by -0 through -16?

Is that the expected behavior?

Is the partition() app coded to do this, including making the parent directories ./_concurrent/fn-139240b8-81cc-4b22-8088-aa5aedd98afe--array/ ?

I cant yet explain why/how this worked when you serialized the main (open code) function, but there's enough going on in this code that I'd carefully check the behavior of each stage.
