Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer-readable storage medium for a traversal of a property graph, are provided. The edge table of the property graph is divided into a plurality of fragments. A first fragment is selected for traversal using a set of selected vertices, where the traversal identifies a set of edges. Based on the set of edges, a set of adjacent vertices is determined during the traversal. A set of discovered vertices in the property graph is determined based on the set of selected vertices and the set of adjacent vertices.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for traversing a property graph, comprising: receiving a recursion boundary as an input parameter, wherein the recursion boundary defines a maximum number of levels of the property graph for traversal; dividing, using a processor, an edge table of the property graph into a plurality of fragments; selecting a first fragment for traversing from the plurality of fragments and a set of selected vertices; traversing the first f…
