Python property graph class does some expensive dask calls to determine if a graph is a multi-graph.
This PR exposes to the C API and the PLC layer the graph_view method that counts the number of multi-edges in the graph. Specifically, the function returns the number of extra edges exist. So if the edge
(u,v)
existsk
times, that edge contributesk-1
to the return value.If the return value of this function is greater than 0 then the graph is a multi-graph. If the return value is 0 then while the graph might be labeled a multi-graph, there are no multi-edges so it could be treated as a graph.
Closes #2417
Note that the property graph python code would still need to be modified to use this function.
