2. Tinkerpop – What is it ?
● A Graph storage and processing system
● Currently under Apache incubation ( 2015 )
● Sub system for graph based apps i.e. Titan
● Has Tinkerpop3 Structure API
– Graph, Element, Property
● Has Tinkerpop3 Process API
– TraversalSource, GraphComputer

3. Tinkerpop – What can it do ?
● See tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org
● Graph based processing for graph based systems
● Has graph interaction via
– OLTP ( online transaction processing )
– OLAP ( online analytical processing )
● Has GraphComputer for vertex programming
● Gremlin server access by
– Gremlin console
– REST API
– Java

4. Tinkerpop – Why am I interested ?
● Apache Titan will use Tinkerpop
– For graph storage and processing
● Titan 0.9x should be Apache Spark Enabled
● Means that hopefully ( perhaps soon ? )
– Titan can be used for graph storage
– With Apache Spark graphX
– Means
● Graph storage
– Hbase / Cassandra
● Plus Graph processing
● All graph based at big data range

5. Tinkerpop – Uses Gremlin
● Tinkerpop3 uses the Gremlin groovy language for
– For Graph Mutation
– For Graph Traversal
● Gremlin is a graph based language
● Provides Gremlin Server for
– Metrics i.e. Graphite
– Monitoring – i.e. Ganglia

– Elastic-gremlin
– Hadoop (Giraph)
– Apache Spark
– Sqlg
– Tinkergraph
– Titan
