Graph Engine vs. HyperGraphDB vs. InfiniteGraph vs. Python Comparison Chart

Graph Engine (GE) is a distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine. The distributed RAM store provides a globally addressable high-performance key-value store over a cluster of machines. Through the RAM store, GE enables the fast random data access power over a large distributed data set. The capability of fast data exploration and distributed parallel computing makes GE a natural large graph processing platform. GE supports both low-latency online query processing and high-throughput offline analytics on billion-node large graphs. Schema does matter when we need to process data efficiently. Strongly-typed data modeling is crucial for compact data storage, fast data access, and clear data semantics. GE is good at managing billions of run-time objects of varied sizes. One byte counts as the number of objects goes large. GE provides fast memory allocation and reallocation with high memory ratios.

InfiniteGraph is a massively scalable graph database specifically designed to excel at high-speed ingest of massive volumes of data (billions of nodes and edges per hour) while supporting complex queries. InfiniteGraph can seamlessly distribute connected graph data across a global enterprise. InfiniteGraph is a schema-based graph database that supports highly complex data models. It also has an advanced schema evolution capability that allows you to modify and evolve the schema of an existing database. InfiniteGraph’s Placement Management Capability allows you to optimize the placement of data items resulting in tremendous performance improvements in both query and ingest. InfiniteGraph has client-side caching which caches frequently used node and edges. InfiniteGraph's DO query language enables complex "beyond graph" queries not supported by other query languages.
