generalized gather scatter using tuples
To run: mpiexec -np <n> CrystalRouterExample -r [reportrank] -t [num_tuples] -n [num_comms]

/*
 * This example will show one of the building blocks of parallel infrastructure in MOAB
 * More exactly, if we have some homogeneous data to communicate from each processor to a list of
 * other processors, how do we do it?
 *
 * introduce the TupleList and crystal router to MOAB users.
 *
 * This technology is used in resolving shared vertices / sets between partitions
 * It is used in the mbcoupler for sending data (target points) to the proper processor, and
 * communicate back the results. Also, it is used to communicate departure mesh for intersection in
 * parallel
 *
 * It is a way of doing MPI_gatheralltoallv(), when the communication matrix is sparse
 *
 * It is assumed that every proc needs to communicate only with a few of the other processors.
 * If every processor needs to communicate with all other, then we will have to use paired isend
 * and irecv, the communication matrix is full
 *
 * the example needs to be launched in parallel.
 * Every proc will build a list of tuples, that will be send to a few procs;
 * In general, we will send to num_comms tasks, and about num_tuples to each task
 * We vary num_comms and num_tuples for processor
 *
 * we will send long ints of the form
 * 100000 * send + 1000* rank +j, where j is the index of tuple
 *
 * after routing, we verify we received
 * 100000 * rank + 1000 * from
 *
 * For some reportrank we also print the tuples.
 *
 * after routing, we will see if we received, as expected. Should run on at least 2 processors.
 *
 * Note: We do not need a moab instance for this example
