How is this related to tugraph-db ?

[KrishnaPG]

It is not clear what is the relation between tugraph-db and this project tugraph-analytics.

Does tugraph-analytics use tugraph-db internally or are they both two different separate projects altogether?

• In which scenarios, which one should be used?

More importantly, which scenarios are not suitable for tugraph-analytics but good for tugraph-db and vice-versa.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your good question:

• tugraph-db is an OLTP graph database that runs on a single machine, focusing on low latency and high concurrent queries and transactions. It supports graph processing of up to tens of billions in scale, and is implemented in C++.
• tugraph-analytics aims to be a distributed OLAP graph database, focusing on high throughput and large-scale analysis. It supports graph processing at the scale of trillions and also supports dynamic graph computation, implemented in Java.
• In the future, we hopes to build TuGraph a HTAP graph database that supports massive storage, large-scale computing, high concurrent queries and updates, and transaction control.

You can choose the system that suits your current application scenario according to your preferences. We also warmly welcome you to participate in the community construction of TuGraph. This is not limited to projects such as tugraph-db, tugraph-analytics, tugraph-agl, etc.

Thank you @fanzhidongyzby Are these two tugraph-db and tugraph-analytics data-compatible?

That is,

1. can one store the transaction data in tugraph-db and run analytics using tugraph-analytics on top of that data?
2. Are the tools like tugraph-db-browser compatible with both tugraph-db and tugraph-analytics? Can we use the tugraph-db-browser to browse data from both of them?

Currently, TuGraph-DB and TuGraph-Analytics are still two separate subsystems, and their underlying storage formats are not yet fully compatible. TuGraph is actively evolving towards a one-stop HTAP graph database technology direction. In the near future, we will introduce the TuGraph-DB binlog mechanism to support real-time data writing from TuGraph-DB into TuGraph-Analytics. Therefore, at present, you can only use tugraph-db-browser to access the data of TuGraph-DB.

Thank you, @fanzhidongyzby Looking forward to the TuGraph-DB + TuGraph-Analytics integration.
