Hi Mathew,


As per the below Note from Janusgraph docs, even if company is having 1k different types of edge related to it, traverse by edge lable will be fast.

Such as find employees employedBy (edge lable) company. 

But if you have a high cardinality for a single edge type, then you have to manually create edge index on respective property.

JanusGraph automatically builds vertex-centric indexes per edge label and property key. That means, even with thousands of incident battled edges, queries like g.V(h).out('mother') or g.V(h).values('age') are efficiently answered by the local index.


Thanks,
Amiya

Hi Matthew,

It would be possible to replace the employedBy, isSoldby, isLeasedBy relations with a relatedToCompany relation with employment, selling and lease properties. But I do not see any advantages compare to the original model, because there is nothing wrong with a lot of frequently used vertex centric indices and the original model is easier to use.
