This might a stupid question but is this competing with Neo4j or Giraph? I didn't see a mention of comparison with either in the docs. I believe graph data storage and graph processing are two different things - is TItan doing both?
For those interested in Titan 1.0 roadmap and the evolution of the Titan OLTP/OLAP story. Titan will be implementing TinkerPop3 API <a href="http://www.tinkerpop.com/docs/current/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinkerpop.com/docs/current/</a> ... Currently, Titan 0.5.0 leverages the Faunus Gremlin compiler (<a href="http://faunus.thinkaurelius.com" rel="nofollow">http://faunus.thinkaurelius.com</a>), but with TinkerPop3, TinkerPop3 provides an OLAP compiler for Gremlin that will make things easier for Titan as well as other graph computing engines implementing the stack <a href="http://www.tinkerpop.com/docs/current/#traversalvertexprogram" rel="nofollow">http://www.tinkerpop.com/docs/current/#traversalvertexprogra...</a>
Does this one work? I spent a bit of time playing with Titan earlier this year before passing and moving on.<p>IMHO the project made a critical design error by trying to be backend agnostic. From a technical perspective, that gives the worst of all worlds for everyone involved.
Some nice changes in this release. Having built-in TTL on edges and vertices would have simplified several different system's I've worked on.
I would love to hear about peoples experiences working with Titan (or other graph dbs, for that matter) - I've been following the project with interest for some time now.<p>If you don't want to comment on HN I'd really appreciate an email to craig dot glennie gmail
