Meetup: An Introduction to InfiniteGraph, and Connecting the Dots in Big Data.

Graph Database Overview and Feature Update Darren Wood Chief Architect, InfiniteGraph

History
Objectivity – Massively scalable, distributed object oriented database
Used in Government (DoD, Intelligence)
Machine generated data such as sensor, acoustic…
OEM Markets
Either complex data models, or high ingest or both
Significant technical advantage in highly connected (many-to-many) data models

Graph Databases
Key technical attributes
How Infinite Graph addresses these
Query and navigation
Challenges/Requirements of Distribution
Practical applications

Graph Databases
Optimized around data relationships
Relationships as first class citizens
Super fast traversal between entities
Rich/flexible annotation of connections
Small focused API (typically not SQL)
Natively work with concepts of Vertex/Edge
SQL has no concept of “navigation”
Most attempts based in SQL are convoluted

Distributed Graph Must Haves
High performance distributed persistence
Ability to deal with remote data reads (fast)
Intelligent local cache of subgraphs
Distributed navigation processing
Distributed, multi-source concurrent ingest
Write modes supporting both strict and eventual consistency

Some Code Copyright © InfiniteGraph Vertex alice = myGraph.addVertex(new Person(“Alice”)); Vertex bob = myGraph.addVertex(new Person(“Bob”)); Vertex carlos = myGraph.addVertex(new Person(“Carlos”)); Vertex charlie = myGraph.addVertex(new Person(“Charlie”)); alice.addEdge(new Meeting(“Denver”, “5-27-10”), bob); bob.addEdge(new Call(timestamp), carlos); carlos.addEdge(new Payment(100000.00), charlie); bob.addEdge(new Call(timestamp), charlie); Alice Carlos Charlie Bob Meets Calls Pays Calls

Physical Storage Comparison Copyright © InfiniteGraph Meetings P1 Place Time P2 Alice Denver 5-27-10 Bob Calls From Time Duration To Bob 13:20 25 Carlos Bob 17:10 15 Charlie Payments From Date Amount To Carlos 5-12-10 100000 Charlie Met 5-27-10 Alice Called 13:20 Bob Payed 100000 Carlos Charlie Called 17:10 Rows/Columns/Tables Relationship/Graph Optimized

Query and Navigation
Queries – but not as you know them
More like a rules based search and discovery
Asynchronous Results
Copyright © InfiniteGraph Alice Carlos Charlie Bob Meets Calls Pays Calls “ Find all paths between Alice and Charlie” “ Find all paths between Alice and Charlie – within 2 degrees” “ Find all paths between Alice and Charlie – events in May 2010”

Navigation Example Copyright © InfiniteGraph // Create a qualifier that describes the target vertex Qualifier findCharliePredicate = new VertexPredicate(personType, "name == ’Charlie'" ); // Construct a navigator which starts with Alice and uses a result qualifier // to find all paths in the graph to Charlie Navigator charlieFinder = alice.navigate( Guide.SIMPLE_BREADTH_FIRST, // default guide Qualifier.ANY, // no path constraints findCharliePredicate , // find paths ending with Charlie myResultHandler); // fire results to supplied handler // Start the navigator charlieFinder.start();

Management of Large Data Graphs
Graphs grow quickly
Billions of phone calls / day in US
Emails, social media events, IP Traffic
Financial transactions
Some analytics require navigation of large sections of the graph
Each step (often) depends on the last
Must distribute data and go parallel
