Tinkerpop Why am I interested ?

• Apache Titan will use Tinkerpop
• For graph storage and processing
• Titan 0.9x should be Apache Spark Enabled
• Means that hopefully ( perhaps soon ? )
• Titan can be used for graph storage
• With Apache Spark graphX
• Means
• Graph storage
• Hbase / Cassandra
• Plus Graph processing
• All graph based at big data range

Tinkerpop Uses Gremlin

• Tinkerpop3 uses the Gremlin groovy language for
• For Graph Mutation
• For Graph Traversal
• Gremlin is a graph based language
• Provides Gremlin Server for
• Metrics i.e. Graphite
• Monitoring i.e. Ganglia
