Release Notes: v0.9.0

release-note We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.9. In this release, we revisit the Dev-infra to improve productivity. Now, you can enjoy GraphScope with standalone mode in both our PlayGround and Google Colab. We also continuously make GraphScope more user-friendly and update the documents and tutorials based on the latest version. Further, we have preliminary supported Java in Graph Analytics Engine (GAE), and users can succinctly develop graph analytics applications with Java (see this document for more details).

Release Notes: v0.8.0

release-note We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.8. This release is a major update on many aspects of the project including deployment, system speed and APIs. For quickly getting started, this release supports to use GraphScope on standalone mode without Kubernetes. To improve the efficiency of operators and applications in NetworkX module, an immutable graph is applied by default, while it is converted to a dynamic graph only if modification operators for graphs are triggered. In addition, a notebook is integrated into the helm charts.

Release Notes: v0.7.0

release-note We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.7. This release includes major updates for the persistent graph store in GraphScope, providing APIs for real-time graph updates (inserts and deletes of individual vertices and edges). It also focuses on user-friendly improvements, security issues, code quality, and a series of bug fixes.

Release Notes: v0.6.0

release-note We are glad to announce the release of GraphScope 0.6. This major release integrates a new graph interactive engine GAIA, which supports efficient parallel execution and bounded-memory execution for Gremlin queries. More technical details of GAIA can refer to our published tech blog. Note that currently the integration of GAIA with GraphScope is experimental, and is not recommended for production use yet! In addition, this release improves the experience of local deployment on MacOS, Ubuntu and CentOS, and adds more graph analytics algorithms.

GAIA Deep Dive: Bounded-Memory Execution and Early-Stop Optimization for Efficient Graph Traversal at Scale

knife Last time, we presented an overview of the GAIA engine for scaling Gremlin for large distributed graphs. In contrast to other, existing batch-oriented big graph processing systems, such as Google Pregel, Apache Giraph, GraphLab PowerGraph, and Apache Spark GraphX, GAIA focuses on low-latency graph traversal at scale. Achieving this goal requires a different distributed infrastructure. Today, we continue to explain why with highlighting two unique and key features of GAIA.

Release Notes: v0.5.0

release-note We are glad to announce the GraphScope 0.5 release. As the first step towards the ease of deployment in production, this major release includes two new features, namely a persistent graph store to enable a “service mode” for real-time graph computing, and lazy evaluation of GraphScope programs–an execution strategy which delays the execution of a GraphScope program until later when needed for efficiency. In addition, we improve the compatibility with NetworkX. ​ We highlight the following improvements included in this release: ​

  1. GraphScope-Store: A persistent store for mutable graphs. Currently, it has supported the following features/functions:

Release Notes: v0.4.0

release-note Today, we’re announcing the availability of GraphScope v0.4.0. This release focuses on the compatibility improvement with NetworkX, with the aim of allowing users to develop graph applications on large-scale graphs in a distributed environment just like doing this on a single machine. In addition, this release improves the experience of standalone deployment.

Introducing GAIA: A Scalable Engine for Gremlin – the SQL for Graphs

gaia GAIA extends GraphScope with Gremlin, the industry’s de facto standard property graph query language defined and maintained by the Apache TinkerPop project, which is widely adopted by popular graph database vendors such as Neo4j, OrientDB, JanusGraph, Microsoft Cosmos DB, and Amazon Neptune. GAIA is the first open-source implementation of Gremlin in a distributed or big-data environment in the industry.

Release Notes: v0.3.0

release-note GraphScope v0.3.0 is released as scheduled. This release includes new features and major updates for frontend APIs for graph manipulation, integration with other systems as well as code optimization for some operators. Another direction we are working on is to ease the deployment of GraphScope with/without Kubernetes.

Release Notes: v0.2.0

release-note The GraphScope team is pleased to announce the 0.2.0 release after two-months development. The 0.2.0 release is focused on better getting started experience for end-users and we have make a lot of improvements since the last minor release. We have improved our documentation a lot, and made the kubernetes integration work for more settings. We have also brought the support for various I/O to make GraphScope suitable for more production environments.
