Hi SQL colleagues,
Background:
I've been working on a public data repository that models data following the
schema.org approach (essentially an RDFa type structure), which yields graph structures. Up to now, we receive the graph data initially nto Postgres as "json chunks" and then our system decomposes them and feeds them into Neo4j using the Gremlin language for indexing as a graph (we provide some structured search services like freetext on the json within Postgres too). Users then query the graph using Gremlin.
My problem is that Neo4j's indexing services have some painful performance characteristics for our use-case (it takes a long time to reindex, stability isn't great, single element index is slow). We've tried Neptune's Gremlin support, with similar (unhappy) results.
Question for the group:
Does anyone have experience or recommendations for modeling graph data in Postgres in ways that would viable for production use?
Maybe there are graph extensions available, or clever ways to make graphs work within the existing Postgres/SQL environment? Ideally we could run queries in Gremlin, but if we had to convert to SQL or another language, that would be fine too.
Thanks for any input or support,
Steve
