Faunus Graph Configuration

This section describes the various configuration parameters in Faunus. Each InputFormat/OutputFormat as well as the numerous MapReduce steps have specific configurations that are described in their respective sections of the documentation. Note that all configurations go into the global Configuration that is used throughout Hadoop. Therefore, Hadoop specific configurations can be provided in the Faunus configuration files. These configurations can be retrieved via FaunusGraph.getConf() or FaunusGraph.getConf(String prefix). Finally, they can be set via FaunusGraph.getConf().set(...).
