Optional
initialValueFactory: () => ValueTypeOptional
initialThe name of the channel.
Return a string representation of the channel's current state.
Mark the current value of the channel as consumed. By default, no-op. This is called by Pregel before the start of the next step, for all channels that triggered a node. If the channel was updated, return true.
Return a new identical channel, optionally initialized from a checkpoint. Can be thought of as a "restoration" from a checkpoint which is a "snapshot" of the channel's state.
Optional
checkpoint: ValueTypeReturn the current value of the channel.
Update the channel's value with the given sequence of updates. The order of the updates in the sequence is arbitrary. This method is called by Pregel for all channels at the end of each step. If there are no updates, it is called with an empty sequence.
Raises InvalidUpdateError if the sequence of updates is invalid. Returns True if the channel was updated, False otherwise.
Stores the result of applying a binary operator to the current value and each new value.
