Analytics and Solutions - Graph Algorithm Library

GSQL Enhancements

  • Schema: Vertex Attribute as PRIMARY_KEY

    • In classic GSQL, vertex Primary_ID is special, not consider an attribute. This minimizes storage space.

    • New option to treat the Primary_ID as a regular attribute.

  • ✅ MultiGraph: Different graphs can use the same query names and job names.

  • ✅ Loading: User can choose how to handle edges with missing source or target vertex.

    • Default: If either the source id or target id of a new edge refers to a nonexistent text, then the system will create the necessary vertices with default values.

    • New option: If the source or target vertex doesn't exist, don't create the edge.

  • ✅ Catalog Display: Enhanced SHOW command

    • Show vertices, edges, jobs, or queries.

    • Accepts a regEx or glob pattern argument to show only selected items

GraphStudio Enhancements

See the relevant sections of the GraphStudio UI Guide

  • Design Schema:

    • User-defined tuples as attributes are supported (already supported in GSQL).

  • Explore Graph:

    • When displaying a directed edge, only show the forward edge and not its companion reverse edge.

    • Text size of vertex and edge label is adjustable.

  • Write Queries:

    • After a query is compiled, show its REST endpoint.

    • See graph schema while writing GSQL queries.

    • Better editing and installing experience for queries with dependencies.

Other Spec Changes

  • ⚠️ Single Sign On: The security.sso.saml.sp.hostname parameter is replaced by security.sso.saml.sp.url, which must be a full URL, not just a local path.

  • If a query is issued while another query is being installed, the query will wait rather than exit.

  • CHANGE: PRIMARY_ID as INT or UINT is no longer deprecated. To support more general use of attributes as PRIMARY_ID, the following data types may be used: STRING, INT, UINT

  • ℹ️ The keyword COMMENT is no longer reserved.

  • ⚠️ The built-in REST endpoint POST /ddl (Online Post) is deprecated. Its functionality is already covered by the improved and unified LOADING JOB introduced in v2.0
