TigerGraph - Gartner Cool Vendor
TigerGraph identified as one of the four vendors in Gartner Cool Vendors in Data
Management report in recognition of new groundbreaking features in 3.0 release.

Why Graph; Why Now?
Business want to ask business logic
questions of their data
Blending data from multiple sources,
multiple business units, and
increasingly external data
Larger and more varied datasets
mean more variables to analyze
and connections to explore and test

TigerGraph 3.0 - User-defined Indexes
Overview:
• Design: Modeled after Secondary
Index feature in relational databases
• Functionality: Build Index on Vertex
Attribute or Range to get quick
access.
• Syntax: ALTER VERTEX statement is
used to add or remove Indexes.
Indexes will be supported for all
DML/IUD commands with some
exceptions on supported
predicates.
Scale and
Performance

Benefits:
• User-defined Indexes are
performance feature.
• They allow users to get the same
high performance even if the
Querying Pattern changes giving
users flexibility.
• Users can benefit from enhanced
HA as User-defined indexes are
distributed same as base
Vertexes.
Scale and
Performance

Performance Impact
• Performance upside is dependent
on the predicate selectivity.
• Performance results have been
tremendous with 50 to 100 times
faster query performance.
Index Maintenance Overhead :
• Index maintenance will depend on
the number of indexes.
• Update Query performance and
Index Storage overhead was up to
15%.
Scale and
Performance

TigerGraph 3.0 - Schema-flexible Querying
In 3.0, GSQL Query
Language allows schema-
independent queries
• Developer puts
variables for vertex,
edge, attribute types
• User supplies actual
names at run time.
Ease of
Use

Prior to 3.0, GSQL queries are
statically compiled for predefined
schema:
Example:
Pre-3.0 Version:
RUN QUERY
Social_path_person_knows("John_Doe","
Jane_Doe")
3.0 Version:
RUN QUERY
shortest_path("Person","knows","John_
Doe","Jane_Doe")
Ease of
Use

Benefits:
● Improves Developer
Productivity
● Supplying parameters at
runtime allows for
cleaner code.
● Schema-flexible Query
code allows easy reuse.
● Allows easy collaboration
among team members.
Ease of
Use

TigerGraph 3.0 - Export/Import Tool
Benefits:
• Export/Import Utility allows
users to move data out of
database into downstream
applications easily
• It can be used for restore
operations.
• It allows users to test new
versions easily.

Together

TigerGraph 3.0 - New Installer
Key features:
● Support for multiple versions of TigerGraph on the
same cluster
○ Upgrades do not overwrite existing installation
● Support for in-place migration to a new
compatible version to coexist and share the same
data folder.
○ Not applicable to pre-3.0 versions of
TigerGraph
● Improved Installer performance installation is run
in parallel on all nodes
Scale and
Performance

TigerGraph 3.0 - New Installer
Benefits:
• New Installer reduces the overhead
related to System Management
Operations
• This is handy to deal with regressions
and test new functionality.
• Reduces the installation time for cluster-
wide upgrades
