Pregel API

Pregel API is a programming interface designed for processing large-scale graph data efficiently. It allows developers to write algorithms that run across distributed systems, where data is represented as nodes (vertices) and connections (edges). The API simplifies handling complex computations like shortest paths or network analysis by enabling iterative, parallel processing. Essentially, Pregel coordinates the flow of information between the parts of the graph, allowing algorithms to run step-by-step across multiple machines, making it ideal for analyzing massive networks such as social media graphs or web link structures.
