neo4j-gremlin-bolt

neo4j-gremlin-bolt is a Java library that provides an Apache Tinkerpop 3.x implementation for Neo4j, allowing developers to interact with Neo4j databases using the standard Tinkerpop graph API over the BOLT protocol. This bridges the gap between the popular graph query language Gremlin and Neo4j's native capabilities, facilitating graph operations in a familiar interface.

Key Features

• Tinkerpop 3.x OLTP Support — Full compatibility with Apache Tinkerpop's Online Transactional Processing API for graph systems.
• Neo4j BOLT Implementation — Direct integration with Neo4j using its high-performance BOLT binary protocol.
• Graph Partitioning — Out-of-the-box support for graph partitioning strategies, including All labels and Any label partitions.
• Flexible ID Providers — Multiple element ID generation options, including Neo4J native IDs, database sequences, and custom providers.
• Transaction Management — Built-in support for ACID transactions using Tinkerpop's transaction API.
• Neo4J Causal Clustering — Compatibility with Neo4J's BOLT+Routing for read/write operations in clustered environments.
• Profiler Integration — Ability to enable Neo4J's query profiler to analyze and log CYPHER statement performance.

Philosophy

The project emphasizes an open architecture for element ID generation and aims to provide a robust, performant bridge between the Tinkerpop ecosystem and Neo4j's enterprise-grade graph database.
