An edge triplet represents an edge along with the vertex attributes of its neighboring vertices.
VD: the type of the vertex attribute.
ED: the type of the edge attribute
instance constructor:
new EdgeTriplet()
var attr: ED
The attribute associated with the edge
var dstAttr: VD
The destination vertex attribute
var dstId: VertexId
The vertex id of the target vertex
def otherVertexAttr(vid: VertexId): VD
Given one vertex in the edge return the other vertex.
def otherVertexId(vid: VertexId): VertexId
Given one vertex in the edge return the other vertex.
def relativeDirection(vid: VertexId): EdgeDirection
Return the relative direction of the edge to the corresponding vertex.
var srcAttr: VD
The source vertex attribute
var srcId: VertexId
The vertex id of the source vertex
def toString(): String
def
toTuple: ((VertexId, VD), (VertexId, VD), ED)
def vertexAttr(vid: VertexId): VD
Get the vertex object for the given vertex in the edge

// Define a default user in case there are relationship with missing user
