Thanx a lot jim,
after a preliminary analysis we have found that user info will be
about 2 mb of text max. But how to store the images videos etc . Just
as references to a CDN or within the node.?
Also where can the long conversatitions between 2+ users be stored ?
Can it act as a relationship
Hey Aliabbas,
It's unlikely that our store will be a good place for video - we're optimised
around fast relationship traversal rather than big blobs. I'd recommend just
hosting their (relative) URIs in Neo4j and exposing the files out on to the
Web, hosted on the filesystem or in something
Thanks jim,
Wow! a great example to show how to think while designing graph dbs.
We also wanted the graph db to act as a representational form of
owl database so does each node required to have a uri ? Is it wise to
conform our graph db to the owl /rdf standard? We require this so
that we can
thanks for the informative reply , to add more , the social networking
website will be geo aware and some spatial info also needs to be
stored like the coordinates of the user node or the coordinates of
the location\place how can we add more also will neo4j alone + spatial
suffice ? can there be
Hi,
I can comment on the spatial side. The
neo4j-spatialhttps://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-spatiallibrary provides
some tools for doing spatial analysis on your data. I do
not know exactly what you plan to do, but since you mention user and place
locations, I guess you are likely to be asking the
Hi Aliabbas,
It's quite feasible to run multiple graph DBs, that's just manual sharding. In
your application you own the mapping to which of the graph DBs you want to
interact with, and your app also reifies links between instances.
But do try a single instance first (with slave replication
Hi Aliabbas,
It's difficult to make pronouncements about your solution design without
knowing about it, but here are some heuristics that can help you to plan
whether you go with a native Neo4j solution or mix it up with other stores. All
of these are only ideas and you should test first to
we are about to use neo4j for a social n\w website but we cant decide
whether to go for neo4j alone or a combination of neo4j+cassandra so
that we can use cassandra to store user profile info and map each
node of graph to cassandra keyvalue store.
it would be great if only neo4j would suffice
