Hi Jamal, Thanks for your interest in Graph Builder 2.0. Saving a graph in Titan is one of the features of this release, but not the “only thing”. Graph construction is a data parallel problem and our goal is to provide a library of methods that one can easily use to create large scale graphs using mapreduce. Pig provides a simple and efficient way to ingest data from many different sources (such as databases, HBase, HDFS and local file systems). Also, Pig is popularly used for data ETL. However there was no libraries in Pig that can build a large scale graph. Hence we provided the new Graph Builder library in Pig which provides you the following methods: - Create property graph elements from Pig schema or HBase table schemas - Dedpulicate property graph elements (i.e., vertices and edges) - Export property graphs as edge lists (in HDFS) or RDF (in HDFS) - Export property graph in Titan (w/ HBase currently) which is the best known graph database that can manage large scale graphs in Hadoop/HBase In days to come we will keep on adding more features and functionalities to this library such that it becomes more usable, easier to extend and achieves high scalability. What kind of functionality are you looking for?

Or am I missing something? Thanks J _______________________________________________ GraphBuilder mailing list GraphBuilder(a)lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/graphbuilder
