ArangoSearch - new features
11
Sorted Inverted Indexes (SortedViews)
▸ Pre-processed, multi-attribute sorting
within ArangoSearch views. Query
execution performance improvement of
of to 2000%
Configurable Analyzers
▸ Case-sensitive search, custom stopword
lists & enhanced stemming
Scores in AQL
▸ Use similarity scores in AQL Queries

Roadmap ArangoSearch
12
FuzzySearch
▸ Allowing likeliness searches
Autocomplete
▸ Suggest search terms while user is
typing
Facetted Search
▸ Classification based multi-filter searches
Multi-Attribute Queries
▸ Allowing broad semantic query capabilities

13. Copyright © ArangoDB Inc., 2019 - Confidential
New Graph Capabilities
13
k-shortest path
▸ Allows users to find all shortest path between to nodes in a graph and sort the result
set according to either length or weight. Especially important for Navigation Systems
or Cybersecurity use cases (Find the best route from A to B by e.g. traffic, length,
duration, etc)
PRUNE
▸ Traversing all “branches” within a graph can be expensive. PRUNE allows to apply
FILTER conditions directly at runtime and minimize data lookups necessary and
thereby maximize traversal performance.

14. Copyright © ArangoDB Inc., 2019 - Confidential
Hot Backups (3.5.1)
14
Create super fast, consistent snapshot backups
▸ Hot Backups allow snapshots in any interval (per minute, hour, day, …)
▸ No noticeable service impact
▸ Jump back to any stored state of your database

15. Copyright © ArangoDB Inc., 2019 - Confidential
Data Masking
15
▸ Use obfuscated production data for better test results in testing & development.
Preserve the data structure to simulate the real world.

specified duration. Simplifies data maintenance and meeting privacy regulations
like GDPR or CCPA
