Logs showing progress of an algorithm

[elena_sg]

I am running a centrality algorithm on a graph projection with the code:
gds.alpha.closeness.stream("my-graph")

While it runs, I get logs like:
2021-02-25 16:58:59.197+0000 INFO [gds-4] MSClosenessCentrality 37%
in the terminal. This percentages grow and decrease the whole time, so I'm not sure of its meaning. Is there any way to follow up the progress of an algorithm? Or to estimate how long it will take?
Thank you!

We currently print progress to the debug log, but what I think you're seeing is the progress of each individual thread (default concurrency is 4) in closeness centrality, as well as logging for different stages (reading the graph, calculating the result, writing the result).

We don't offer time estimates - it's highly dependent on your hardware and unique graph structure - but we do plan on improving progress logging in future releases.
