greetings neo4j folks! we would really like to go for neo4j for our social networking website but we are still not convinced about the scalability and concurrency of neo4j considering that it may have to deal with billions of peta bytes of data. a massive write load on master is predicted due to millions of users updating their status \ other information.
infinitegraph.com claims high scalability and distributed servers whereas neo4j constrains us on a single database and the master seems to be the bottleneck in writes. have any tests or simulations being performed on neo4j to gauge its efficiency and fault tolerance in large scale systems on the scale of facebook and twitter? orientdb is also promising since its open source but has only native support for graphs and has no spatial features which we require. hope neo4j folks convince us before we take a major decision of choosing the right graph db . we are also open to polyglot persistence involving a combination of neo4j, orientdb and cassandra is it wise to go for such a combination ? -- Aliabbas Petiwala M.Tech CSE _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
