Vitor Santos Vieira commented on FLINK-2941: -------------------------------------------- I believe that this same situation will occur with other licensed dependencies, such as Oracle, MS, HPE, EMC2, etc... Speaking as a Flink user, putting all third-party connectors outside the Flink repository would not be a problem, but they still need to related to the Flink project somehow. > Implement a neo4j - Flink/Gelly connector > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2941 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2941 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Gelly > Reporter: Vasia Kalavri > Assignee: Martin Junghanns > Labels: requires-design-doc > > By connecting Flink/Gelly with a graph database like neo4j we can facilitate > interesting use-cases, like: > - use neo4j as an input source, i.e. read the complete graph or a subgraph > from a neo4j database, import it into Flink and run a graph analysis task > with Gelly. > - use neo4j as a sink, i.e. perform ETL on some data in Flink to create a > graph and insert the graph in a neo4j database for further querying. > We have started a discussion on possible implementations and have looked into > similar projects, e.g. connecting neo4j to Spark. Some initial thoughts and > experiences can be found in [this > document|https://docs.google.com/document/d/13qT_e-y8aTNWQnD43jRBq1074Y1LggPNDsic_Obwc28/edit?usp=sharing]. > Please, feel free to comment and add ideas! I will also start a discussion > in the mailing list with more concrete problems that we would like to get > feedback on. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
