S2: The RDDs in Spark, depend on one or more other RDDs. The representation of
dependencies in between RDDs is known as the lineage graph. Lineage graph information is
Quiz: Week 8: used to compute each RDD on demand, so that whenever a part of persistent RDD is lost, the
Assignment-8 data that is lost can be recovered using the lineage graph information.

8) What is the PageRank score of vertex 'B' after the second iteration? (Without 1 point
damping factor)

                          

Hint:- The basic PageRank formula is:

    

Where, P Rt+1 (u) : page rank of node u  under consideration, P Rt (v)  : previous page rank of
node ‘v’ pointing to node ‘u ’ , C (v) : outgoing degree of vertex ‘v’

1/6

1.5/12

2.5/12

1/3

You may submit any number of times before the due date. The final submission will be
considered for grading.
