An open-source research framework for distributed temporal graph analytics built on Apache Flink.
Gradoop is an open-source research framework for distributed graph analytics built on Apache Flink. It provides an extended property graph model with logical graphs and operators for declarative graph analysis workflows. The framework enables scalable processing of temporal and large-scale graph data in distributed environments.
Researchers and data engineers working on large-scale graph analytics, temporal graph analysis, and distributed data processing who need flexible, declarative graph operators integrated with Apache Flink.
Gradoop offers a unique combination of logical graph abstraction, temporal graph support, and seamless integration with Apache Flink's dataflow ecosystem, enabling complex analytical workflows that scale across distributed clusters.
Distributed Temporal Graph Analytics with Apache Flink
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Extends the property graph model with logical graphs, allowing vertices and edges to belong to multiple graphs, enabling complex analytical workflows as described in the EPGM data model.
Provides composable operators for single graphs and collections, supporting flexible, declarative definition of graph analytical workflows detailed in the Wiki's operator list.
Includes a Temporal Property Graph Model (TPGM) for analyzing graphs with time dimensions, implemented in the gradoop-temporal module for time-aware analytics.
Built on Apache Flink, enabling easy integration with existing Flink workflows and libraries like Gelly, ML, and Table, as highlighted in the README.
The README explicitly states it's 'work in progress' with unstable APIs and 'far from production ready,' making it risky for critical deployments.
Requires specific Apache Flink version 1.9.3 and additional setups like Hadoop winutils for Windows, complicating installation and maintenance.
As a research framework, it lacks the robust documentation, community resources, and third-party tooling compared to established graph databases or libraries.
