Venkatesh Seetharam commented on FALCON-288:
--------------------------------------------

We need to discuss 2 things:

* persistent store - rdbms vs a graph db
* object model based on the store we choose

I tried to model in both and the queries for getting a graph for a single 
execution with multiple instances for an input involved several inner joins. 
However, its quite straightforward in graphs.

Currently, I have each entity as a vertex with name and type as indexed 
properties. Each instance for a given entity is also a vertex with edges to the 
entity and the instances it uses or generates with name as the indexed property 
along with user and timestamp.

Thoughts?

> Need to evaluate the store - rdbms vs graph db. Leaning towards latter since 
> the data is hierarchical.
