Re: JanusGraph database cache on distributed setup

washerath@...
 

Hi Boxuan,

I am evaluating the approach of rewriting ExpirationKCVSCache as suggested. There i could replace existing guava cache implementation to connect with remote Redis db.  So that Redis DB will be act as centralized cache which can connects with all other JG instances.

While going through the JG source it could find same guava cache implementation (cachebuilder = CacheBuilder.newBuilder()) uses on several other places. Eg . GuavaSubqueryCache, GuavaVertexCache, ...

Will it be sufficient to have modification only on ExpirationKCVSCache or do we need to look for modification on several other places as well ?

Thanks

Wasantha


Re: Removed graphs still open in muti node cluster

Hi Lixu,

JanusGraph-0.6.0 had various changes to the ConfiguredGraphFactory which might have solved your issue:

https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/issues/2236
https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/blob/v0.5.3/janusgraph-core/src/main/java/org/janusgraph/core/ConfiguredGraphFactory.java
https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/blob/v0.6.1/janusgraph-core/src/main/java/org/janusgraph/core/ConfiguredGraphFactory.java

Can you recheck with version 0.6.1?

BTW, the release notes of v0.6.0 form an impressive list! Merely reading it takes minutes.

Re: Preserve IDs when importing graphml

Hi Laura,

No answer but some relevant search results:

https://groups.google.com/g/gremlin-users/c/jUBuhhKuf0M/m/kiKMY0eHAwAJ
The  graph.set-vertex-id property at: https://docs.janusgraph.org/configs/configuration-reference/#graph

In general, when working with JanusGraph, it is better to first transform the input graphml and make the id into a property.

Preserve IDs when importing graphml

I think I've read once that it's possible to preserve the IDs when importing graphml data. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where I read that. All my IDs are integers.
How do I do that?


Re: Importing a schema

Hi Laura,

JanusGraph only allows to configure a custom SchemaMaker with the schema.default property. Googling on SchemaMaker hits some (unmaintained?) projects that could help:

Importing a schema

Laura Morales <lauretas@...>
 

Is there a way to import a schema, instead of creating it with a script?
For example importing this file:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<graphml xmlns='http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/xmlns'>
<key id='type' for='node' attr.name='type' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='code' for='node' attr.name='code' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='icao' for='node' attr.name='icao' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='desc' for='node' attr.name='desc' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='region' for='node' attr.name='region' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='runways' for='node' attr.name='runways' attr.type='int'></key>
<key id='longest' for='node' attr.name='longest' attr.type='int'></key>
<key id='elev' for='node' attr.name='elev' attr.type='int'></key>
<key id='country' for='node' attr.name='country' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='city' for='node' attr.name='city' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='lat' for='node' attr.name='lat' attr.type='double'></key>
<key id='lon' for='node' attr.name='lon' attr.type='double'></key>
<key id='dist' for='edge' attr.name='dist' attr.type='int'></key>
<key id='labelV' for='node' attr.name='labelV' attr.type='string'></key>
<key id='labelE' for='edge' attr.name='labelE' attr.type='string'></key>
</graphml>

like this: graph.io(graphml()).readGraph("file.graphml")

is there a way to make Janus create the schema from the XML file? This would be very convenient because it means I don't have to write groovy scripts for creating the schema.


Re: JanusGraph database cache on distributed setup

Boxuan Li
 

Hi Wasantha,

A centralized cache is a good idea in many use cases. What you could do is to maintain a centralized cache by yourself. This, however, requires some changes to your application code (e.g. your app might need to do a look up in cache and then query JanusGraph). A more advanced approach is to rewrite ExpirationKCVSCache (https://javadoc.io/doc/org.janusgraph/janusgraph-core/latest/org/janusgraph/diskstorage/keycolumnvalue/cache/ExpirationKCVSCache.html) by yourself and let it store cache in a centralized cache rather than the local cache. Then, the db.cache feature should still work except that the cache is synced across JanusGraph instances.

Best,
Boxuan

Once we enable the db.cache, what ever the modification done for particular vertex only visible for that JG instance untill the cache expires. So if we have multiple JG instances, the modifications done from one instance does not reflect on other immediately. 

If we can have centralized cache which syncs up with all JG instances this can be avoided.

can we dynamically create multiple graphs with customized schema files

Yingjie Li
 

Hello,

Currently we run gremlin.sh with  customized schema file in groovy  (contains backend config, graph name, cache size as well as property key, vertex/edge index)  to initialize graph. It seems that we have to restart the server to make sure that the graph is accessible. 

Is there a way to dynamically create multiple graphs with customized schema files  without the need to restart the server?  


Removed graphs still open in muti node cluster

lixu
 

Hi, I'm using JnausGraphManager and JanusGraphWsAndHttpChannelizer to manage dynamic graph operating.
When dropping graph in multi-nodes cluster, removed graphs only closed in specific node, the removed graphs are still open in other nodes.
 
Version: 0.5.3 
Storage Backend: Hbase
Mixed Index Backend: elasticsearch
Expected Behavior: all nodes in cluster should close the removed graphs
Current Behavior: only the node executing dropping script close the removed graphs
 
Related codes:
JanusGraphManager:
 
    private class GremlinExecutorGraphBinder implements Runnable {
        final JanusGraphManager graphManager;
        final GremlinExecutor gremlinExecutor;
 
        public GremlinExecutorGraphBinder(JanusGraphManager graphManager, GremlinExecutor gremlinExecutor) {
            this.graphManager = graphManager;
            this.gremlinExecutor = gremlinExecutor;
        }
 
        @Override
        public void run() {
            ConfiguredGraphFactory.getGraphNames().forEach(it -> {
                try {
                    final Graph graph = ConfiguredGraphFactory.open(it);
                    updateTraversalSource(it, graph, this.gremlinExecutor, this.graphManager);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // cannot open graph, do nothing
                    log.error(String.format("Failed to open graph %s with the following error:\n %s.\n" +
                    "Thus, it and its traversal will not be bound on this server.", it, e.toString()));
                }
            });
        }
    }
 
In above codes, run() method will get all the graph names from hbase, so it could find all the added graphs, 
but those graphs removed from the other nodes are still open in current node.
 
 
 
 


Re: Forcing Janusgraph to use indices when performing traversal with Union step

Boxuan Li
 

The approach you proposed should work as good/bad as your original single query in theory. I would be surprised if this approach works better than your original single query, but if so, please let me know.

The optimal approach depends on your data. Since each of your indexes only covers a single index, there are two strategies in general:

1. Leverage one index to return results for one condition, and do in-memory filtering for the other condition. Your original query does this. This is useful in some scenarios (e.g. one index returns many more results than another index).

2. Leverage both indexes and do in-memory intersection to return results that satisfy both conditions. This might be something you want, and it is useful in some scenarios (e.g. both indices return roughly the same results and there is not much overlapping between two sets of results). If this is what you want, try rewriting your query as g.V().has("indexed-prop1", "value1").or(__.has("indexed-prop2", "value2"), __.has("indexed-prop3", "value3")). Essentially, change the union step into "or" step.

Hope this helps!

Best,
Boxuan


Re: Forcing Janusgraph to use indices when performing traversal with Union step

brad@...
 

Thank you for your reply.

We can look into migrating to version 0.6 (or later)...

There exists an index for indexed-prop1, indexed-prop2, and indexed-prop3, but there are no multi-column indices (e.g., indexed-prop1 and indexed-prop2).  In our application, the columns that might be used for the search are specified by the user, and we wouldn't have any way of knowing in advance what combination of columns they might ask for.  The only thing that we can do now is to ensure that all of the columns that are used in a 'has' step are indexed.  

One approach that I thought might be an improvement is to perform the first traversal (i.e., " g.V().has('indexed-prop1', 'value1')") separately, collect the set of vertices which satisfy this query, then perform an additional query for each 'has' step that is currently in the 'union' step.  So, for example, we run g.V().has('indexed-prop1', 'value1') initially, and it returns 3 vertices (V1, V2, and V3).  We then run a traversal for indexed-prop2:   "g.V(V1, V2, V3).has('indexed-prop2', 'value2')", which returns a subset of the vertices returned by the first traversal.  Then, run another traversal, this time:   "g.V(V1, V2, V3).has('indexed-prop3', 'value3')", again returning a subset of the vertices.  Finally, figure out (programatically, without executing another traversal) the union of the vertices returned by the last 2 traversals.  This is an inelegant and brute-force technique which would probably work, but I would rather do this in a single traversal, and I haven't been able to figure out how to do this.  Can you recommend an approach for doing this kind of action in a single traversal?

Thanks,
Brad


Re: Forcing Janusgraph to use indices when performing traversal with Union step

Boxuan Li
 

Hi Brad,

I can see that your traversal is using the index index_ten1_apm_0 from the following snippet:

  backend-query                                                        3                      21.484
    \\_query=index_ten1_apm_0:[(ten1.apm.idx.type_id = i_javaServiceInstance)](4000):index_ten1_apm_0
    \\_limit=4000

Then, JanusGraph uses in-memory filtering to check whether the results returned by the index_ten1_apm_0 satisfy your predicates has('indexed-prop2', 'value2’) or has('indexed-prop3', ‘value3’).

Do you have an index that contains both the field “indexed-prop1” and “indexed-prop2”, and an index that contains both the field “indexed-prop1” and “indexed-prop3”? If so, try replacing “union” step with “or” step. If not, then you could try creating those indexes, otherwise there is no optimization that JanusGraph can do.

Btw it looks like you are using a JanusGraph version < 0.6, which is out of maintenance. The same query should run moderately faster in the latest version due to a couple of optimizations.

Best,
Boxuan

Re: JanusGraph database cache on distributed setup

How fast is immediately?  A well dimensioned cassandra or scylladb cluster (with its own block cache!) should be able to serve requests at the ms level.

https://www.scylladb.com/2017/09/18/scylla-2-0-workload-conditioning/

You only run into trouble with queries that ask for tens or hundreds of vertices, but you can ask if it is reasonable to be realtime at the ms level for such large queries.

Re: separate elastic search for separate graph

hadoopmarc@...
 

I had to try for myself and, indeed, the ref docs are not very clear about this. In order to give the second graph a separate, independent mixed ndex
you have to adapt the properties file for the second graph like (in this case a variant on janusgraph-cql-es.properties):

gremlin.graph=org.janusgraph.core.JanusGraphFactory
storage.backend=cql

storage.hostname=127.0.0.1
storage.cql.keyspace=janusgraph2

cache.db-cache = true
cache.db-cache-clean-wait = 20
cache.db-cache-time = 180000
cache.db-cache-size = 0.25

index.search2.backend=elasticsearch
index.search2.hostname=127.0.0.1
index.search2.index-name=janusgraph2

After loading the graphs you can check against the indexing backend:

$ curl http://127.0.0.1:9200/_cat/indices
green  open .geoip_databases    O7iNY_U4Sui1yfFontk3lA 1 0 42 0 38.8mb 38.8mb

yellow open janusgraph2_edges     d1ZOPXVSTze0HQkg_vEz1A 1 1  6 0  4.4kb  4.4kb

Also, if you use the GraphOfTheGodsFactory for testing with two graphs, you have to use it like:
gremlin> GraphOfTheGodsFactory.load(graph1, 'search', false)
gremlin> GraphOfTheGodsFactory.load(graph2, 'search2', false)

I did not check if this can work for the ConfigurationGraphFactory, but if you find this impossible either of us should report an issue
for it (together with extending the ref docs with the above) .

Forcing Janusgraph to use indices when performing traversal with Union step

brad@...
 

Hello,

I need to execute Janusgraph traversals, using a Union step, which contains multiple 'has' steps, each of which tests an indexed property for equality to a value.  Prior to the Union step, there is another 'has' step, which also tests an indexec property.

For example:

    g.V().has('indexed-prop1', 'value1').union(has('indexed-prop2', 'value2'), has('indexed-prop3', 'value3'))

How can I verify whether or not the traversal is using indices 'indexed-prop2' and 'indexed-prop3'?  I suspect that it is not.  The traversal seems to take a long time to run; however, when I simplify the traversal, by having only one 'has' step within the union, it runs very quickly.

What is the best way to execute this type of traversal.  My application is written in Java.

Thanks in advance,
Brad
