I've read the "Bulk Loading" chapter of the documentation several times but I still don't understand how to create a graph. Everything that I can find online is some Java or Groovy code.
Given:
1. a graph schema (say, in JSON)
2. a bunch of data (say, in CSV)
does Janus have any tool to load this stuff into a database, or to create a new one? Without using any Java/Groovy programming, or 3rd party tools? Or am I expected to write my own Groovy scripts for parsing the CSV and creating the graph?

Hi Laura,

JanusGraph support for loading data does not go further than the Traversal API (used in https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/reference/#addvertex-step ) and the JanusGraphManagement API (used in https://docs.janusgraph.org/basics/schema/ ).

A better resource than the reference docs to get you started is:
http://www.kelvinlawrence.net/book/PracticalGremlin.html

The bulk loading tips will be useful for graphs with millions of vertices and edges.

Best wishes,     Marc

If I setup an empty graph with persistent storage, for example berkeley (thus not an in-memory graph), can I load a graphml/graphson file and have it all added to the graph?
