Graph Databases: Girish Jayappa

This document provides an overview of graph databases and their uses. Graph databases are well-suited for applications that involve complex, interconnected data like social networks, maps, and recommendations. Neo4j is highlighted as a popular graph database that uses a labeled property graph data model and Cypher query language. It can handle billions of nodes and relationships and offers fast traversal speeds. Graph databases are more effective than relational databases for problems involving highly connected data and pathfinding queries.

GRAPH DATABASES

Girish Jayappa

Social Network Example Facebook , LinkedIn etc

Network - LAN,WAN etc

Maps/Route finder - ex Google Maps

Recommendations ex Flipkart, Amazon, IMDB,Facebook, LinkedIn etc

A GRAPH

GRAPH DATA MODEL

NODES

RELATIONSHIPS

RELATIONSHIPS (CONTINUED)

LABELS

WHITEBOARD FRIENDLINESS
Direct representation of the model ( Easy to design and model )

REFINED DATA MODEL

RDBMS V/S GRAPH DATABASE

SOCIAL NETWORK PATH EXISTS


PERFORMANCE
Experiment:
~1000 persons
Average 50 friends per person
pathExists(a,b) limited to depth 4

IF YOUVE EVER
Joined more than 7 tables together
Modeled a graph in a table
Tried to write some crazy stored procedure with multiple recursive self and
inner joins
Lot of semi-structured data

You should use a graph database ( ex


Neo4j)

NEO4J IS A GRAPH DATABASE

a schema-free labeled Property Graph


perfect for complex, highly connected data
reliable with real ACID Transactions
scalable: Billions of Nodes and Relationships, Scale out with highly available
Neo4j-Cluster
32 Billion Nodes, 32 Billion Relationships, 64 Billion Properties

fast with more than 2M traversals / second


Embedded Server with REST API
Query Language - Cypher

CYPHER SOME SYNTAX


Create nodes with relationships
create (ad:Actor{name:"Ajay Devgan",gender:"male"}),
(ak:Actor{name:"Akshay Kumar",gender:"male",location:"Punjab"}),
(srk:Actor{name:"Shahrukh Khan',gender:"male"}),
(sk:Actor{name:"Salman Khan",gender:"male"}),
(ad)-[:FRIEND]->(ak),(ak)-[:FRIEND]->(srk),(srk)-[:FRIEND]->(sk)

MATCH nodes and create relationships


MATCH (ad:Actor { name: 'Ajay Devgan' }), (sk:Actor { name: 'Salman Khan' })
CREATE (ad)-[:FRIEND]->(sk)

REAL TIME SEARCH/RECOMMENDATION EXAMPLE

SMALL DEMO
1. Find Shortest path between 2 people
2. RESTful ready
