Infinite loop in torch_cluster.graclus_cluster on empty inputs?

[ssrothman]

When calling graclus_cluster(row, col, weight, numnodes) on empty input, the call hangs. In particular by "empty inputs" I mean inputs like: row=torch.Tensor([]), col=torch.Tensor([]), weight=torch.Tensor([]), numnodes=some positive integer. While the call is hanging nvidia-smi still shows substantial GPU utilization, suggesting to me that there is some unintended infinite loop running on the GPU in this case. This is probably not a super important edge case (I was only calling the function with empty inputs due to a bug in my data handling which has since been fixed), but I thought it was worth notifying the developers, as I assume this is not the intended failure mode.

My environment is:

Thanks for reporting. Indeed, currently graclus_cluster assumes a well-defined graph. We could probably error out early in this we see empty inputs.
