Hi Zach,

Personally I think your workaround is the most optimal one. JanusGraph does not store number of edges as metadata in the vertex (there are both Pros & Cons for doing / not doing this).

Btw do you have to have another job doing centrality calculation separately? If your application is built on top of JanusGraph, then probably you can maintain the “outDegree” property when inserting/deleting edges.

Best regards,

Hello all,

Curious about best approaches/practices for scalable degree-centrality search filters on large (millions to billions of nodes) JanusGraphs.  i.e. something like :

g.V()

   .has("someProperty",eq("someValue"))

   .where(outE().count().is(gt(10)));                            

Suppose the has-step narrows down to a large number of vertices (hundreds of thousands), then performing that form of count on that many vertices will result in timeouts and inefficiencies (at least in my experience).  My workaround for this has been pre-calculating centrality in another job and writing to a Vertex Property that can subsequently be included in a mixed index. So we can do:

g.V()

   .has("someProperty",eq("someValue"))

   .has(“outDegree”,gt(10))

This works, but it is yet another calculation we must maintain in our pipeline and while sufficing, it seems like more of a workaround then a great solution. I was hoping there was a more optimal approach/strategy. Please let me know. 

Thank you,

Zach
