Hi all,

from what I know janus is fork of titan which means if it does not have different storage impl it could have problems with bigger data count.

"janusgraph/titan can store up to a quintillion edges (2^60) and half as many vertices. "

"The maximum number of cells (rows x columns) in a single partition is 2 billion."

2 billions is about (2^31)

in cassandra schema we always have 2 columns per table so you could store about (2^30) values per key

so if not mistaken "half as many vertices" is not for cassandra storage backend?

I'm using titan 0.4.4 and after having like 50M+ vertices I have spot cassandra started to complain about "Compacting large partition titan/vertexindex:00".
As I understand partition for key 0x00 already is too big and start to causing performance during compaction.
Also I spot that it contains one value per each created vertex (8+8=16bytes). so it is already bigger than 500MB in size which is already bigger than cassandra recommendation.

So my question is what is real janusgraph/titan limit for cassandra backend which will not "kill" cassandra?

Btw I also spot that some keys from "edgestore" table for "supernodes" are also bigger than 1GB with my current graph.

Could anyone explain how janusgraph stores data in cassandra and how to configure it to prevent storing huge rows?
