@InterfaceAudience.Public
public class VertexGroup
extends Object

Represents a virtual collection of vertices whose members can be treated as a single named collection for graph operations. Only the following connections are valid. A VertexGroup can be connected as an input to a consumer Vertex. The tasks of the destination vertex see a single input named after the VertexGroup instead multiple inputs from the members of the VertexGroup. An output can be added to a VertexGroup. All outgoing edges & outputs of a VertexGroup are automatically transferred to the member vertices of the VertexGroup. A VertexGroup is not part of the final DAG.
