概述

HugeGraph支持Apache TinkerPop3的图形遍历查询语言Gremlin。 SQL是关系型数据库查询语言，而Gremlin是一种通用的图数据库查询语言，Gremlin可用于创建图的实体（Vertex和Edge）、修改实体内部属性、删除实体，也可执行图的查询操作。

Gremlin可用于创建图的实体（Vertex和Edge）、修改实体内部属性、删除实体，更主要的是可用于执行图的查询及分析操作。

TinkerPop Features

HugeGraph实现了TinkerPop框架，但是并没有实现TinkerPop所有的特性。

下表列出HugeGraph对TinkerPop各种特性的支持情况：

Graph Features

Name	Description	Support
Computer	Determines if the {@code Graph} implementation supports {@link GraphComputer} based processing	false
Transactions	Determines if the {@code Graph} implementations supports transactions.	true
Persistence	Determines if the {@code Graph} implementation supports persisting it's contents natively to disk.This feature does not refer to every graph's ability to write to disk via the Gremlin IO packages(.e.g. GraphML), unless the graph natively persists to disk via those options somehow. For example,TinkerGraph does not support this feature as it is a pure in-sideEffects graph.	true
ThreadedTransactions	Determines if the {@code Graph} implementation supports threaded transactions which allow a transaction be executed across multiple threads via {@link Transaction#createThreadedTx()}.	false
ConcurrentAccess	Determines if the {@code Graph} implementation supports more than one connection to the same instance at the same time. For example, Neo4j embedded does not support this feature because concurrent access to the same database files by multiple instances is not possible. However, Neo4j HA could support this feature as each new {@code Graph} instance coordinates with the Neo4j cluster allowing multiple instances to operate on the same database.	false

Vertex Features

Name	Description	Support
UserSuppliedIds	Determines if an {@link Element} can have a user defined identifier. Implementation that do not support this feature will be expected to auto-generate unique identifiers. In other words, if the {@link Graph} allows {@code graph.addVertex(id,x)} to work and thus set the identifier of the newly added {@link Vertex} to the value of {@code x} then this feature should return true. In this case, {@code x} is assumed to be an identifier data type that the {@link Graph} will accept.	false
NumericIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has numeric identifiers as their internal representation. In other words,if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a numeric value then this method should be return {@code true}. Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
StringIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has string identifiers as their internal representation. In other words, if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a string value then this method should be return {@code true}. Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
UuidIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has UUID identifiers as their internal representation. In other words,if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a {@link UUID} value then this method should be return {@code true}.Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
CustomIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has a specific custom object as their internal representation.In other words, if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a type defined by the graph implementations, such as OrientDB's {@code Rid}, then this method should be return {@code true}.Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
AnyIds	Determines if an {@link Element} any Java object is a suitable identifier. TinkerGraph is a good example of a {@link Graph} that can support this feature, as it can use any {@link Object} as a value for the identifier. Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite. This setting should only return {@code true} if {@link #supportsUserSuppliedIds()} is {@code true}.	false
AddProperty	Determines if an {@link Element} allows properties to be added. This feature is set independently from supporting "data types" and refers to support of calls to {@link Element#property(String, Object)}.	true
RemoveProperty	Determines if an {@link Element} allows properties to be removed.	true
AddVertices	Determines if a {@link Vertex} can be added to the {@code Graph}.	true
MultiProperties	Determines if a {@link Vertex} can support multiple properties with the same key.	false
DuplicateMultiProperties	Determines if a {@link Vertex} can support non-unique values on the same key. For this value to be {@code true}, then {@link #supportsMetaProperties()} must also return true. By default this method, just returns what {@link #supportsMultiProperties()} returns.	false
MetaProperties	Determines if a {@link Vertex} can support properties on vertex properties. It is assumed that a graph will support all the same data types for meta-properties that are supported for regular properties.	false
RemoveVertices	Determines if a {@link Vertex} can be removed from the {@code Graph}.	true

Edge Features

Name	Description	Support
UserSuppliedIds	Determines if an {@link Element} can have a user defined identifier. Implementation that do not support this feature will be expected to auto-generate unique identifiers. In other words, if the {@link Graph} allows {@code graph.addVertex(id,x)} to work and thus set the identifier of the newly added {@link Vertex} to the value of {@code x} then this feature should return true. In this case, {@code x} is assumed to be an identifier data type that the {@link Graph} will accept.	false
NumericIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has numeric identifiers as their internal representation. In other words,if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a numeric value then this method should be return {@code true}. Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
StringIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has string identifiers as their internal representation. In other words, if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a string value then this method should be return {@code true}. Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
UuidIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has UUID identifiers as their internal representation. In other words,if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a {@link UUID} value then this method should be return {@code true}.Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false
CustomIds	Determines if an {@link Element} has a specific custom object as their internal representation.In other words, if the value returned from {@link Element#id()} is a type defined by the graph implementations, such as OrientDB's {@code Rid}, then this method should be return {@code true}.Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite.	false

Note that this feature is most generally used for determining the appropriate tests to execute in the Gremlin Test Suite. This setting should only return {@code true} if {@link #supportsUserSuppliedIds()} is {@code true}.	false
AddProperty	Determines if an {@link Element} allows properties to be added. This feature is set independently from supporting "data types" and refers to support of calls to {@link Element#property(String, Object)}.	true
RemoveProperty	Determines if an {@link Element} allows properties to be removed.	true
AddEdges	Determines if an {@link Edge} can be added to a {@code Vertex}.	true
RemoveEdges	Determines if an {@link Edge} can be removed from a {@code Vertex}.	true

MapValues	Supports setting of a {@code Map} value. The assumption is that the {@code Map} can contain arbitrary serializable values that may or may not be defined as a feature itself	false
MixedListValues	Supports setting of a {@code List} value. The assumption is that the {@code List} can contain arbitrary serializable values that may or may not be defined as a feature itself. As this{@code List} is "mixed" it does not need to contain objects of the same type.	false
