Though similar to map reduce model, BSP preserves data in memory across supersteps and helps in reasoning iterative graph algorithms.<br />
`Pregel` is an implementation of classic BSP model by Google (PageRank) to analyze large graphs exclusively. It was followed by open source implementations - Apache’s Giraph and Hama; which were BSP models built on top of Hadoop.
Pregel is highly scalable, fault-tolerant and can successfully represent larger complex graphs. Google claims the API becomes easy once a developer adopts “think like a vertex” mode.
