Graphs are everywhere 13Thursday, March 15, 12

Even in the Matrix - everything is a graph Google Image Search: „graph OR network“ 14Thursday, March 15, 12

Graphs Everywhere ๏ Relationships in • Politics, Economics, History, Science,Transportation ๏ Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Sociology • Body, Ecosphere, Reaction, Interactions ๏ Internet / IT • Hardware, Software, Interaction ๏ Social Networks • Family, Friends • Work, Communities • Neighbours, Cities, SocietyThursday, March 15, 12 15

Good Relationships ๏ World is rich, messy and related data ๏ Relationships are as least as important as the things they connect ๏ Graphs = Whole > Sum of all parts ๏ Complex interactions ๏ Always changing, change of structures as well ๏ Graph => Relationships are part of the data ๏ RDBMS => Relationships part of the ﬁxed schema 16Thursday, March 15, 12

Questions and Answers ๏ Complex Questions ๏ Answers lie between the lines (things) ๏ Locality of the information ๏ Global searches / operations very expensive ๏ Constant query time, regardless of data volume 17Thursday, March 15, 12

Categories ? ๏ Categories == Classes, Trees ? ๏ What if more than one category ﬁts? ๏ Tags ๏ Categories via relationships like „IS_A“ ๏ Any number, easy to change ๏ „Virtual“ Relationships - Traversals ๏ Category dynamically derived from queries 18Thursday, March 15, 12

Spring Data Neo4j domain class @NodeEntity public class Actor { @Indexed private String name; }Thursday, March 15, 12

What about relationships @NodeEntity class Actor { ... public Iterable <Movie> getMovi final List<Movi es() { e> movies = new for ( Relations LinkedList<Movi hip rel : under e>(); RelTypes.ACTS_I lyingNode.getRe N, Direction.OU lationships( movies.add( new TGOING ) ) { Movie( rel.getE } return movies; ndNode() ) ); Old } class) @RelatedTo(type="ACTS_ IN", elementClass = Movie. ; private Set<Movie> movies public Iterable<Movie> ge tMovies() { New return movies; }Thursday, March 15, 12

Defining entity classesThursday, March 15, 12

Defining entity classes • @NodeEntity • Represents a node in the graph • Fields saved as properties on node • References stored as relationships between nodes • Instantiated using Java ‘new’ keyword, like any POJO • Also returned by lookup mechanisms • Type information stored in the graphThursday, March 15, 12

Defining entity classesThursday, March 15, 12

Defining entity classes • @RelationshipEntity • Represents a relationship in the graph • Fields saved as properties on relationship • Special ﬁelds for start- and end-nodes • Only returned by lookup methodsThursday, March 15, 12

Fields in node entities (@NodeEntity) • Primitive types and strings are directly persisted • For all other types, Spring conversion support can be used • Enum and Date conversion is provided out-of-the-box • Transient ﬁelds not persisted @NodeEntity public class Actor { private String name; private int age; private HairColor hairColor; private transient String nickname; } 37Thursday, March 15, 12

Fields in node entities (@NodeEntity) • Fields of types that represent a node (@NodeEntity) 38Thursday, March 15, 12

Fields in relationship entities (@RelationshipEntity) • Primitive and convertible types work just the same • @StartNode and @EndNode provide access to the start and end node entities for the relationship entity @RelationshipEntity public class Role { @StartNode private Actor actor; @EndNode private Movie movie; private String title; }Thursday, March 15, 12

Indexing By annotating an entity ﬁeld with @Indexed it becomes searchable: @NodeEntity public class Actor { @Indexed private String name; @Indexed private HairColor hairColor; It can then be looked up: GraphRepository<Actor> actorRepo = template.repositoryFor(Actor.class); Actor kevin = actorRepo.findByPropertyValue(“name”, “Kevin Bacon”); Iterable<Actor> allBlondActors = actorRepo.findAllByPropertyValue(“hairColor”, “blond”);Thursday, March 15, 12

Indexing @NodeEntity public class Actor { @Indexed(type = FULLTEXT) private String name; ๏ Index name defaults to domain class name ๏ Index key defaults to ﬁeld name ๏ Fulltext and spatial index types ๏ Repository query methods for any Lucene query, including ranges: Iterable<Actor> allKevinsOlderThan32 = actorRepo.findAllByQuery(“name:Kevin* AND age>32”); Iterable<Actor> youngActors = actorRepo.findAllByRange(“age”, 3, 18);Thursday, March 15, 12

Traversal @NodeEntity public class Actor { @GraphTraversal( traversalBuilder = CoactorsTraversalDescriptionBuilder.class) private Iterable<Actor> coactors; } public class CoactorsTraversalDescriptionBuilder implements FieldTraversalDescriptionBuilder { public TraversalDescription build(...) { return Traversal.description() .evaluator(Evaluators.atDepth(2)) .relationships(RelTypes.ACTS_IN); } } Example for dynamic ﬁeld computation 44Thursday, March 15, 12

Cypher query language @NodeEntity public class Actor { @Query(“START actor=node({self}) ” + “MATCH actor-[:ACTS_IN]->movie<-[:ACTS_IN]-coactor ” + “RETURN coactor”) private Iterable<Actor> coactors; } @NodeEntity public class User { @Query(“START actor=node({self}) ” + “MATCH actor-[:ACTS_IN]->movie<-[:ACTS_IN]-coactor ” + “RETURN movie.title, coactor.name”) private List<Map<String, Object>> movieCoactorPairs; } 45Thursday, March 15, 12
