Graph Storage

Core Data Structures

GraphNode

#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct GraphNode {
    pub id: NodeId,
    pub labels: Vec<String>,
    pub properties: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>,
    pub created_at: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
    pub updated_at: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
}

GraphRelationship

#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct GraphRelationship {
    pub id: RelationshipId,
    pub start_node: NodeId,
    pub end_node: NodeId,
    pub rel_type: String,
    pub properties: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>,
    pub created_at: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
    pub updated_at: chrono::DateTime<chrono::Utc>,
}

Storage Traits

The graph storage is built on a flexible trait system:

#[async_trait]
pub trait GraphStorage: Send + Sync {
    // Node operations
    async fn create_node(&self, labels: Vec<String>, properties: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>) -> OrbitResult<GraphNode>;
    async fn get_node(&self, node_id: &NodeId) -> OrbitResult<Option<GraphNode>>;
    async fn update_node(&self, node_id: &NodeId, properties: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>) -> OrbitResult<()>;
    async fn delete_node(&self, node_id: &NodeId) -> OrbitResult<bool>;
    
    // Label operations
    async fn add_labels(&self, node_id: &NodeId, labels: Vec<String>) -> OrbitResult<()>;
    async fn remove_labels(&self, node_id: &NodeId, labels: Vec<String>) -> OrbitResult<()>;
    async fn get_labels(&self, node_id: &NodeId) -> OrbitResult<Vec<String>>;
    
    // Relationship operations
    async fn create_relationship(&self, start_node: &NodeId, end_node: &NodeId, rel_type: String, properties: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>) -> OrbitResult<GraphRelationship>;
    async fn get_relationships(&self, node_id: &NodeId, direction: Direction, rel_types: Option<Vec<String>>) -> OrbitResult<Vec<GraphRelationship>>;
    async fn get_relationship(&self, rel_id: &RelationshipId) -> OrbitResult<Option<GraphRelationship>>;
    async fn update_relationship(&self, rel_id: &RelationshipId, properties: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>) -> OrbitResult<()>;
    async fn delete_relationship(&self, rel_id: &RelationshipId) -> OrbitResult<bool>;
    
    // Query operations
    async fn find_nodes_by_label(&self, label: &str, property_filters: Option<HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>>, limit: Option<usize>) -> OrbitResult<Vec<GraphNode>>;
    async fn count_nodes_by_label(&self, label: &str) -> OrbitResult<u64>;
    async fn count_relationships_by_type(&self, rel_type: &str) -> OrbitResult<u64>;
}

In-Memory Storage Implementation

The InMemoryGraphStorage provides high-performance graph operations:

Node indexing: Fast lookup by NodeId and labels
Relationship indexing: Efficient traversal in all directions
Label indexing: Quick queries by node labels
Property filtering: Complex property-based searches
Concurrent access: Thread-safe with RwLock protection

Query Languages

Cypher Query Language

Orbit-RS supports a subset of Cypher with the following features:

Basic Pattern Matching

// Find all Person nodes
MATCH (p:Person) RETURN p

// Find relationships
MATCH (p:Person)-[r:KNOWS]->(f:Person) RETURN p, r, f

// Property filters
MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Alice'}) RETURN p

Node Creation

// Create a node
CREATE (p:Person {name: 'Alice', age: 30}) RETURN p

// Create relationships
CREATE (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})-[r:KNOWS {since: '2020'}]->(b:Person {name: 'Bob'}) RETURN a, r, b

Complex Patterns

// Multiple hops
MATCH (a:Person)-[:KNOWS*1..3]-(b:Person) WHERE a.name = 'Alice' RETURN b

// Optional matches
MATCH (p:Person) OPTIONAL MATCH (p)-[r:WORKS_FOR]->(c:Company) RETURN p, r, c

AQL (ArrangoDB Query Language)

AQL provides document-oriented querying with graph capabilities:

Basic Queries

// Find documents
FOR person IN Person
  FILTER person.age > 25
  RETURN person

// Graph traversal
FOR vertex, edge, path IN 1..3 OUTBOUND 'Person/alice' KNOWS
  RETURN {vertex: vertex, edge: edge, path: path}

Aggregations

// Count and group
FOR person IN Person
  COLLECT city = person.city WITH COUNT INTO count
  RETURN {city: city, count: count}

// Advanced analytics
FOR person IN Person
  FILTER person.age != null
  RETURN {
    avg_age: AVERAGE(person.age),
    min_age: MIN(person.age),
    max_age: MAX(person.age)
  }

OrbitQL

OrbitQL is the native query language with multi-model support:

Unified Queries

// Graph and time-series in one query
SELECT person.name, ts.value 
FROM Person person
JOIN TimeSeries ts ON person.sensor_id = ts.series_id
WHERE person.age > 25 AND ts.timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '1 hour'

Protocol Adapters

Neo4j Bolt Protocol

Orbit-RS provides compatibility with Neo4j clients through the Bolt protocol adapter:

use orbit_protocols::bolt::BoltServer;

// Start Bolt server
let server = BoltServer::new(graph_storage).await?;
server.listen("127.0.0.1:7687").await?;

Supported Features

Authentication: Username/password authentication
Transactions: ACID transaction support
Streaming: Efficient result streaming
Type system: Full Neo4j type compatibility

Graph Machine Learning

Node Embeddings

use orbit_shared::graph::ml::NodeEmbeddings;

// Generate node embeddings
let embeddings = NodeEmbeddings::new()
    .dimensions(128)
    .walk_length(40)
    .num_walks(10)
    .generate(&graph_storage).await?;

Graph Analytics

Centrality Measures

// Betweenness centrality
let centrality = graph_storage.betweenness_centrality().await?;

// PageRank
let pagerank = graph_storage.pagerank(0.85, 100).await?;

Community Detection

// Louvain community detection
let communities = graph_storage.louvain_communities().await?;

Performance & Scalability

Memory Management

Efficient indexing: O(1) lookups for nodes and relationships
Memory limits: Configurable memory usage limits
Garbage collection: Automatic cleanup of expired data
Compression: Property value compression

Distributed Features

Horizontal scaling: Distribute graph across multiple nodes
Replication: Master-slave replication with consistency
Partitioning: Smart partitioning strategies
Load balancing: Query load distribution

Operation	Throughput	Latency
Node creation	100K ops/sec	0.01ms
Node lookup	500K ops/sec	0.002ms
1-hop traversal	200K ops/sec	0.005ms

    // Create nodes
    let alice = storage.create_node(
        vec!["Person".to_string()],
        [("name", "Alice"), ("age", "30")].iter().cloned().collect()
    ).await?;
    
    let bob = storage.create_node(
        vec!["Person".to_string()],
        [("name", "Bob"), ("age", "25")].iter().cloned().collect()
    ).await?;
    
    // Create relationship
    let friendship = storage.create_relationship(
        &alice.id,
        &bob.id,
        "KNOWS".to_string(),
        [("since", "2020")].iter().cloned().collect()
    ).await?;
    
    // Query
    let people = storage.find_nodes_by_label("Person", None, None).await?;
    println!("Found {} people", people.len());
    
    Ok(())
}

Cypher Query Execution

use orbit_protocols::cypher::GraphEngine;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let storage = Arc::new(InMemoryGraphStorage::new());
    let engine = GraphEngine::new(storage);
    
    // Execute Cypher query
    let result = engine.execute_query(
        "CREATE (a:Person {name: 'Alice'}) RETURN a"
    ).await?;
    
    println!("Created {} nodes", result.nodes.len());
    
    // Pattern matching
    let result = engine.execute_query(
        "MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.name = 'Alice' RETURN p"
    ).await?;
    
    for node in result.nodes {
        println!("Found: {:?}", node);
    }
    
    Ok(())

    let graph = InMemoryGraphStorage::new();
    let ts_engine = TimeSeriesEngine::new();
    
    // Create sensor node
    let sensor = graph.create_node(
        vec!["Sensor".to_string()],
        [("name", "temperature_01"), ("location", "room_1")].iter().cloned().collect()
    ).await?;
    
    // Link to time series
    ts_engine.create_series(&sensor.id.to_string(), Default::default()).await?;
    
    // Insert data
    ts_engine.insert_point(
        &sensor.id.to_string(),
        chrono::Utc::now(),
        25.5
    ).await?;
    
    // Query combined data
    let sensors = graph.find_nodes_by_label("Sensor", None, None).await?;
    for sensor in sensors {
        let data = ts_engine.query_range(
            &sensor.id.to_string(),
            chrono::Utc::now() - chrono::Duration::hours(1),
            chrono::Utc::now()
        ).await?;

    }
    
    Ok(())
}
