I was attempting to port to JGraphT HyperBall, as the current exact implementation of closeness/harmonic centrality will not scale beyond very small graphs. However, the classes computing centrality indices are actually named as the index, for example, "HarmonicCentrality". How would you suggest I call an alternative implementation of the same centrality?

Hi, 

In case the algorithm is well known by the authors' name, we use a prefix with that name. Otherwise maybe something
like ApproximateHarmonicCentrality could work. Or perhaps there is some characteristic in the technique which could 
be the prefix.

Best, 
Dimitrios
