Design document wanted

do you happen to have some sort of design document which might make it easier to understand the overall architecture or some modules of janusgraph? for example, how does it store property key, what are the steps of reading data from janus, janusgraph is a lot of code to sort through without a higher level design document to understand how they fit together.

if anyone have some, thanks in advance!

I just answered basically the same question on Gitter, so here are some starting points:

The docs contain an Architectural Overview and also describe the internal Data Model which should answer your question about how property keys are stored. In addition to that there are some old docs a user wrote a few years back for Titan, but most of it still applies to JanusGraph: https://github.com/BillBaird/delftswa-aurelius-titan/tree/master/SA-doc

I think in the beginning it's important to understand the roles of JanusGraph and TinkerPop and that of the storage and index backends
If you want to contribute to JanusGraph, then you should be able to start in just one component without having to understand all the different components directly.
