Description
Sometimes you want to build a graph from an edgelist file, but don't have 2X memory lying around. So you should mmap the edgelist and then build the graph. Here is a sample implementation.
using Base.Mmap
using Base.Test
using LightGraphs
function elmmap{T}(io::IO, t::T, ne::Integer)
el = Base.Mmap.mmap(io, Array{Int,2}, (n,2))
return el
end
function elgraph(el::Array{Int,2}, maxv)
g = Graph(maxv)
for i in 1:size(el,1)
src, dst = el[i,1], el[i,2]
if src > nv(g) || dst > nv(g)
add_vertex!(g, maximum(src,dst) - nv(g))
end
add_edge!(g, src, dst)
end
return g
end
n = 100
write("tmp.bin", [1:n 2*(1:n)])
fp = elmmap(open("tmp.bin", "r"), Int, n)
@test fp == [1:n 2*(1:n)]
g = elgraph(fp, 2n)

Research direction
Start with the issue's sample elmmap and elgraph functions, then locate the existing edge-list loading entry points in GraphIO.jl. Verify how a memory-mapped edge list should be exposed and test the shown tmp.bin workflow, including the expected mapped array and graph construction behavior.
