1 - HugeGraph-Server Quick Start

1 HugeGraph-Server Overview

HugeGraph-Server is the core part of the HugeGraph Project, contains submodules such as Core, Backend, API.

The Core Module is an implementation of the Tinkerpop interface; The Backend module is used to save the graph data to the data store, currently supported backends include: Memory, Cassandra, ScyllaDB, RocksDB; The API Module provides HTTP Server, which converts Client’s HTTP request into a call to Core Module.

There will be two spellings HugeGraph-Server and HugeGraphServer in the document, and other modules are similar. There is no big difference in the meaning of these two ways, which can be distinguished as follows: HugeGraph-Server represents the code of server-related components, HugeGraphServer represents the service process.

2 Dependency for Building/Running

2.1 Install Java 11 (JDK 11)

Consider using Java 11 to run HugeGraph-Server (compatible with Java 8 before 1.5.0), and configure by yourself.

Be sure to execute the java -version command to check the jdk version before reading

Note: Using Java8 will lose some security guarantees, we recommend using Java11 in production or

environments exposed to the public network and enable Auth authentication.

3 Deploy

There are four ways to deploy HugeGraph-Server components:

• Method 1: Use Docker container (Convenient for Test/Dev)
• Method 2: Download the binary tarball
• Method 3: Source code compilation
• Method 4: One-click deployment

3.1 Use Docker container (Convenient for Test/Dev)

You can refer to Docker deployment guide.

We can use docker run -itd --name=graph -p 8080:8080 hugegraph/hugegraph to quickly start an inner HugeGraph server with RocksDB in background.

Optional:

1. use docker exec -it graph bash to enter the container to do some operations.
2. use docker run -itd --name=graph -p 8080:8080 -e PRELOAD="true" hugegraph/hugegraph to start with a built-in example graph. We can use RESTful API to verify the result. The detailed step can refer to 5.1.7
3. use -e PASSWORD=123456 to enable auth mode and set the passoword for admin. You cna find more details from Config Authentication

If you use docker desktop, you can set the option like:

Also, if we want to manage the other Hugegraph related instances in one file, we can use docker-compose to deploy, with the command docker-compose up -d (you can config only server). Here is an example docker-compose.yml:

version: '3'
services:
  server:
    image: hugegraph/hugegraph
    container_name: server
    # environment:
    #  - PRELOAD=true
    # PRELOAD is a option to preload a build-in sample graph when initializing.
    # - PASSWORD=123456
    # PASSWORD is an option to enable auth mode with the password you set.
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

Note:

1. The docker image of hugegraph is a convenience release to start hugegraph quickly, but not official distribution artifacts. You can find more details from ASF Release Distribution Policy.

2. Recommand to use release tag(like 1.3.0) for the stable version. Use latest tag to experience the newest functions in development.

3.2 Download the binary tar tarball

You could download the binary tarball from the download page of ASF site like this:

# use the latest version, here is 1.3.0 for example
wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/{version}/apache-hugegraph-incubating-{version}.tar.gz
tar zxf *hugegraph*.tar.gz

# (Optional) verify the integrity with SHA512 (recommended)
shasum -a 512 apache-hugegraph-incubating-{version}.tar.gz
curl https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/{version}/apache-hugegraph-incubating-{version}.tar.gz.sha512

3.3 Source code compilation

Please ensure that the wget command is installed before compiling the source code

We could get HugeGraph source code by 2 ways: (So as the other HugeGraph repos/modules)

• download the stable/release version from the ASF site
• clone the unstable/latest version by GitBox(ASF) or GitHub

# Way 1. download release package from the ASF site
wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/{version}/apache-hugegraph-incubating-src-{version}.tar.gz
tar zxf *hugegraph*.tar.gz

# (Optional) verify the integrity with SHA512 (recommended)
shasum -a 512 apache-hugegraph-incubating-src-{version}.tar.gz
curl https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/{version}/apache-hugegraph-incubating-{version}-src.tar.gz.sha512

# Way2 : clone the latest code by git way (e.g GitHub)
git clone https://github.com/apache/hugegraph.git

Compile and generate tarball

cd *hugegraph
# (Optional) use "-P stage" param if you build failed with the latest code(during pre-release period)
mvn package -DskipTests -ntp

The execution log is as follows:

......
[INFO] Reactor Summary for hugegraph 1.3.0:

......

After successful execution, *hugegraph-*.tar.gz files will be generated in the hugegraph directory, which is the tarball generated by compilation.

3.4 One-click deployment

HugeGraph-Tools provides a command-line tool for one-click deployment, users can use this tool to quickly download, decompress, configure and start HugeGraphServer and HugeGraph-Hubble with one click.

Of course, you should download the tarball of HugeGraph-Toolchain first.

# download toolchain binary package, it includes loader + tool + hubble
# please check the latest version (e.g. here is 1.3.0)
wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/1.3.0/apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-1.3.0.tar.gz
tar zxf *hugegraph-*.tar.gz

# enter the tool's package
cd *hugegraph*/*tool* 

note: ${version} is the version, The latest version can refer to Download Page, or click the link to download directly from the Download page

The general entry script for HugeGraph-Tools is bin/hugegraph, Users can use the help command to view its usage, here only the commands for one-click deployment are introduced.

bin/hugegraph deploy -v {hugegraph-version} -p {install-path} [-u {download-path-prefix}]

{hugegraph-version} indicates the version of HugeGraphServer and HugeGraphStudio to be deployed, users can view the conf/version-mapping.yaml file for version information, {install-path} specify the installation directory of HugeGraphServer and HugeGraphStudio, {download-path-prefix} optional, specify the download address of HugeGraphServer and HugeGraphStudio tarball, use default download URL if not provided, for example, to start HugeGraph-Server and HugeGraphStudio version 0.6, write the above command as bin/hugegraph deploy -v 0.6 -p services.

4 Config

If you need to quickly start HugeGraph just for testing, then you only need to modify a few configuration items (see next section). for detailed configuration introduction, please refer to configuration document and introduction to configuration items

5 Startup

5.1 Use a startup script to startup

The startup is divided into “first startup” and “non-first startup.” This distinction is because the back-end database needs to be initialized before the first startup, and then the service is started. after the service is stopped artificially, or when the service needs to be started again for other reasons, because the backend database is persistent, you can start the service directly.

When HugeGraphServer starts, it will connect to the backend storage and try to check the version number of the backend storage. If the backend is not initialized or the backend has been initialized but the version does not match (old version data), HugeGraphServer will fail to start and give an error message.

If you need to access HugeGraphServer externally, please modify the restserver.url configuration item of rest-server.properties （default is http://127.0.0.1:8080）, change to machine name or IP address.

Since the configuration (hugegraph.properties) and startup steps required by various backends are slightly different, the following will introduce the configuration and startup of each backend one by one.

If you want to use HugeGraph authentication mode, you should follow the Server Authentication Configuration before you start Server later.

And use the RESTful API to request HugeGraphServer and get the following result:

> curl "http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices" | gunzip

{"vertices":[{"id":"2:lop","label":"software","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"lop","lang":"java","price":328}},{"id":"1:josh","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"josh","age":32,"city":"Beijing"}},{"id":"1:marko","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"marko","age":29,"city":"Beijing"}},{"id":"1:peter","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"peter","age":35,"city":"Shanghai"}},{"id":"1:vadas","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"vadas","age":27,"city":"Hongkong"}},{"id":"2:ripple","label":"software","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"ripple","lang":"java","price":199}}]}

This indicates the successful creation of the sample graph.

5.2 Use Docker to startup

In 3.3 Use Docker container, we have introduced how to use docker to deploy hugegraph-server. server can also preload an example graph by setting the parameter.

5.2.1 Uses Cassandra as storage

version: "3"

services:
  graph:
    image: hugegraph/hugegraph
    container_name: cas-server
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    environment:
      hugegraph.backend: cassandra
      hugegraph.serializer: cassandra
      hugegraph.cassandra.host: cas-cassandra
      hugegraph.cassandra.port: 9042
    networks:
      - ca-network
    depends_on:
      - cassandra
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "bin/gremlin-console.sh", "--" ,"-e", "scripts/remote-connect.groovy"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 30s
      retries: 3

  cassandra:
    image: cassandra:4
    container_name: cas-cassandra
    ports:
      - 7000:7000
      - 9042:9042
    security_opt:
      - seccomp:unconfined
    networks:
      - ca-network
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "cqlsh", "--execute", "describe keyspaces;"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 30s
      retries: 5

networks:
  ca-network:

volumes:
  hugegraph-data:

5.2.2 Create example graph when starting server

Set the environment variable PRELOAD=true when starting Docker in order to load data during the execution of the startup script.

1. Use docker run

   Use docker run -itd --name=server -p 8080:8080 -e PRELOAD=true hugegraph/hugegraph:latest

2. Use docker-compose

   Create docker-compose.yml as following. We should set the environment variable PRELOAD=true. example.groovy is a predefined script to preload the sample data. If needed, we can mount a new example.groovy to change the preload data.

   version: '3'
     services:
       server:
         image: hugegraph/hugegraph:latest
         container_name: server
         environment:
           - PRELOAD=true
         ports:
           - 8080:8080
   

   Use docker-compose up -d to start the container

And use the RESTful API to request HugeGraphServer and get the following result:

> curl "http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices" | gunzip

{"vertices":[{"id":"2:lop","label":"software","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"lop","lang":"java","price":328}},{"id":"1:josh","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"josh","age":32,"city":"Beijing"}},{"id":"1:marko","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"marko","age":29,"city":"Beijing"}},{"id":"1:peter","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"peter","age":35,"city":"Shanghai"}},{"id":"1:vadas","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"vadas","age":27,"city":"Hongkong"}},{"id":"2:ripple","label":"software","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"ripple","lang":"java","price":199}}]}

This indicates the successful creation of the sample graph.

6. Access server

6.1 Service startup status check

Use jps to see a service process

jps
6475 HugeGraphServer

curl request RESTfulAPI

echo `curl -o /dev/null -s -w %{http_code} "http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices"`

Return 200, which means the server starts normally.

6.2 Request Server

The RESTful API of HugeGraphServer includes various types of resources, typically including graph, schema, gremlin, traverser and task.

• graph contains vertices、edges
• schema contains vertexlabels、 propertykeys、 edgelabels、indexlabels
• gremlin contains various Gremlin statements, such as g.v(), which can be executed synchronously or asynchronously
• traverser contains various advanced queries including shortest paths, intersections, N-step reachable neighbors, etc.
• task contains query and delete with asynchronous tasks

6.2.1 Get vertices and its related properties in hugegraph

curl http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices 

explanation

1. Since there are many vertices and edges in the graph, for list-type requests, such as getting all vertices, getting all edges, etc., the server will compress the data and return it, so when use curl, you get a bunch of garbled characters, you can redirect to gunzip for decompression. It is recommended to use Chrome browser + Restlet plugin to send HTTP requests for testing.

   curl "http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices" | gunzip
   

2. The current default configuration of HugeGraphServer can only be accessed locally, and the configuration can be modified so that it can be accessed on other machines.

   vim conf/rest-server.properties
   
   restserver.url=http://0.0.0.0:8080
   

response body:

{
    "vertices": [
        {
            "id": "2lop",

                    }
                ]
            }
        },
        {
            "id": "1josh",
            "label": "person",
            "type": "vertex",
            "properties": {

                        "id": "name",
                        "value": "josh"
                    }
                ],
                "age": [
                    {
                        "id": "age",
                        "value": 32
                    }
                ]
            }
        },
        ...
    ]
}

For detailed API, please refer to RESTful-API

You can also visit localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html to check the API.

When using Swagger UI to debug the API provided by HugeGraph, if HugeGraph Server turns on authentication mode, you can enter authentication information on the Swagger page.

Currently, HugeGraph supports setting authentication information in two forms: Basic and Bearer.

7 Stop Server

$cd *hugegraph-${version}
$bin/stop-hugegraph.sh

8 Debug Server with IntelliJ IDEA

Please refer to Setup Server in IDEA

2 - HugeGraph-Loader Quick Start

1 HugeGraph-Loader Overview

HugeGraph-Loader is the data import component of HugeGraph, which can convert data from various data sources into graph vertices and edges and import them into the graph database in batches.

Currently supported data sources include:

• Local disk file or directory, supports TEXT, CSV and JSON format files, supports compressed files
• HDFS file or directory, supports compressed files
• Mainstream relational databases, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server

Local disk files and HDFS files support resumable uploads.

It will be explained in detail below.

Note: HugeGraph-Loader requires HugeGraph Server service, please refer to HugeGraph-Server Quick Start to download and start Server

2 Get HugeGraph-Loader

There are two ways to get HugeGraph-Loader:

• Use docker image (Convenient for Test/Dev)
• Download the compiled tarball
• Clone source code then compile and install

2.1 Use Docker image (Convenient for Test/Dev)

We can deploy the loader service using docker run -itd --name loader hugegraph/loader. For the data that needs to be loaded, it can be copied into the loader container either by mounting -v /path/to/data/file:/loader/file or by using docker cp.

Alternatively, to start the loader using docker-compose, the command is docker-compose up -d. An example of the docker-compose.yml is as follows:

version: '3'

services:
  server:
    image: hugegraph/hugegraph
    container_name: server
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

  loader:
    image: hugegraph/loader
    container_name: loader
    # mount your own data here
    # volumes:
      # - /path/to/data/file:/loader/file

The specific data loading process can be referenced under 4.5 User Docker to load data

Note:

1. The docker image of hugegraph-loader is a convenience release to start hugegraph-loader quickly, but not official distribution artifacts. You can find more details from ASF Release Distribution Policy.

2. Recommand to use release tag(like 1.2.0) for the stable version. Use latest tag to experience the newest functions in development.

2.2 Download the compiled archive

Download the latest version of the HugeGraph-Toolchain release package:

wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/{version}/apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-{version}.tar.gz
tar zxf *hugegraph*.tar.gz

2.3 Clone source code to compile and install

Clone the latest version of HugeGraph-Loader source package:

# 1. get from github
git clone https://github.com/apache/hugegraph-toolchain.git

3 How to use

The basic process of using HugeGraph-Loader is divided into the following steps:

• Write graph schema
• Prepare data files
• Write input source map files
• Execute command import

3.1 Construct graph schema

This step is the modeling process. Users need to have a clear idea of ​​their existing data and the graph model they want to create, and then write the schema to build the graph model.

For example, if you want to create a graph with two types of vertices and two types of edges, the vertices are “people” and “software”, the edges are “people know people” and “people create software”, and these vertices and edges have some attributes, For example, the vertex “person” has: “name”, “age” and other attributes, “Software” includes: “name”, “sale price” and other attributes; side “knowledge” includes: “date” attribute and so on.

graph model example

After designing the graph model, we can use groovy to write the definition of schema and save it to a file, here named schema.groovy.

// Create some properties
schema.propertyKey("name").asText().ifNotExist().create();
schema.propertyKey("age").asInt().ifNotExist().create();
schema.propertyKey("city").asText().ifNotExist().create();
schema.propertyKey("date").asText().ifNotExist().create();
schema.propertyKey("price").asDouble().ifNotExist().create();

// Create the person vertex type, which has three attributes: name, age, city, and the primary key is name
schema.vertexLabel("person").properties("name", "age", "city").primaryKeys("name").ifNotExist().create();
// Create a software vertex type, which has two properties: name, price, the primary key is name
schema.vertexLabel("software").properties("name", "price").primaryKeys("name").ifNotExist().create();

// Create the knows edge type, which goes from person to person
schema.edgeLabel("knows").sourceLabel("person").targetLabel("person").ifNotExist().create();
// Create the created edge type, which points from person to software
schema.edgeLabel("created").sourceLabel("person").targetLabel("software").ifNotExist().create();

Please refer to the corresponding section in hugegraph-client for the detailed description of the schema.

3.2 Prepare data

The data sources currently supported by HugeGraph-Loader include:

• local disk file or directory
• HDFS file or directory
• Partial relational database
• Kafka topic

3.2.1 Data source structure

3.2.1.1 Local disk file or directory

The user can specify a local disk file as the data source. If the data is scattered in multiple files, a certain directory is also supported as the data source, but multiple directories are not supported as the data source for the time being.

For example: my data is scattered in multiple files, part-0, part-1 … part-n. To perform the import, it must be ensured that they are placed in one directory. Then in the loader’s mapping file, specify path as the directory.

Supported file formats include:

• TEXT
• CSV
• JSON

TEXT is a text file with custom delimiters, the first line is usually the header, and the name of each column is recorded, and no header line is allowed (specified in the mapping file). Each remaining row represents a record, which will be converted into a vertex/edge; each column of the row corresponds to a field, which will be converted into the id, label or attribute of the vertex/edge;

An example is as follows:

id|name|lang|price|ISBN
1|lop|java|328|ISBN978-7-107-18618-5
2|ripple|java|199|ISBN978-7-100-13678-5

CSV is a TEXT file with commas , as delimiters. When a column value itself contains a comma, the column value needs to be enclosed in double quotes, for example:

marko,29,Beijing
"li,nary",26,"Wu,han"

The JSON file requires that each line is a JSON string, and the format of each line needs to be consistent.

{"source_name": "marko", "target_name": "vadas", "date": "20160110", "weight": 0.5}
{"source_name": "marko", "target_name": "josh", "date": "20130220", "weight": 1.0}

3.2.1.2 HDFS file or directory

Users can also specify HDFS files or directories as data sources, all of the above requirements for local disk files or directories apply here. In addition, since HDFS usually stores compressed files, loader also provides support for compressed files, and local disk file or directory also supports compressed files.

Currently supported compressed file types include: GZIP, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, SNAPPY_RAW, SNAPPY_FRAMED, Z, DEFLATE, LZ4_BLOCK, LZ4_FRAMED, ORC, and PARQUET.

3.2.1.3 Mainstream relational database

The loader also supports some relational databases as data sources, and currently supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and SQL Server.

However, the requirements for the table structure are relatively strict at present. If association query needs to be done during the import process, such a table structure is not allowed. The associated query means: after reading a row of the table, it is found that the value of a certain column cannot be used directly (such as a foreign key), and you need to do another query to determine the true value of the column.

For example: Suppose there are three tables, person, software and created

// person schema
id | name | age | city

// software schema
id | name | lang | price

// created schema
id | p_id | s_id | date

If the id strategy of person or software is specified as PRIMARY_KEY when modeling (schema), choose name as the primary key (note: this is the concept of vertex-label in hugegraph), when importing edge data, the source vertex and target need to be spliced ​​out. For the id of the vertex, you must go to the person/software table with p_id/s_id to find the corresponding name. In the case of the schema that requires additional query, the loader does not support it temporarily. In this case, the following two methods can be used instead:

1. The id strategy of person and software is still specified as PRIMARY_KEY, but the id column of the person table and software table is used as the primary key attribute of the vertex, so that the id can be generated by directly splicing p_id and s_id with the label of the vertex when importing an edge;
2. Specify the id policy of person and software as CUSTOMIZE, and then directly use the id column of the person table and the software table as the vertex id, so that p_id and s_id can be used directly when importing edges;

The key point is to make the edge use p_id and s_id directly, don’t check it again.

3.2.2 Prepare vertex and edge data

3.2.2.1 Vertex Data

The vertex data file consists of data line by line. Generally, each line is used as a vertex, and each column is used as a vertex attribute. The following description uses CSV format as an example.

• person vertex data (the data itself does not contain a header)

Tom,48,Beijing
Jerry,36,Shanghai

• software vertex data (the data itself contains the header)

name,price
Photoshop,999
Office,388

3.2.2.2 Edge data

The edge data file consists of data line by line. Generally, each line is used as an edge. Some columns are used as the IDs of the source and target vertices, and other columns are used as edge attributes. The following uses JSON format as an example.

• knows edge data

{"source_name": "Tom", "target_name": "Jerry", "date": "2008-12-12"}

• created edge data

{"source_name": "Tom", "target_name": "Photoshop"}
{"source_name": "Tom", "target_name": "Office"}
{"source_name": "Jerry", "target_name": "Office"}

3.3 Write data source mapping file

3.3.1 Mapping file overview

The mapping file of the input source is used to describe how to establish the mapping relationship between the input source data and the vertex type/edge type of the graph. It is organized in JSON format and consists of multiple mapping blocks, each of which is responsible for mapping an input source. Mapped to vertices and edges.

Specifically, each mapping block contains an input source and multiple vertex mapping and edge mapping blocks, and the input source block corresponds to the local disk file or directory, HDFS file or directory and relational database are responsible for describing the basic information of the data source, such as where the data is, what format, what is the delimiter, etc. The vertex map/edge map is bound to the input source, which columns of the input source can be selected, which columns are used as ids, which columns are used as attributes, and what attributes are mapped to each column, the values ​​of the columns are mapped to what values ​​of attributes, and so on.

In the simplest terms, each mapping block describes: where is the file to be imported, which type of vertices/edges each line of the file is to be used as, which columns of the file need to be imported, and the corresponding vertices/edges of these columns. what properties etc.

Note: The format of the mapping file before version 0.11.0 and the format after 0.11.0 has changed greatly. For the convenience of expression, the mapping file (format) before 0.11.0 is called version 1.0, and the version after 0.11.0 is version 2.0 . And unless otherwise specified, the “map file” refers to version 2.0.

{
  "version": "2.0",
  "structs": [
    {
      "id": "1",

The 1.0 version of the mapping file is centered on the vertex and edge, and sets the input source; while the 2.0 version is centered on the input source, and sets the vertex and edge mapping. Some input sources (such as a file) can generate both vertices and edges. If you write in the 1.0 format, you need to write an input block in each of the vertex and edge mapping blocks. The two input blocks are exactly the same ; and the 2.0 version only needs to write input once. Therefore, compared with version 1.0, version 2.0 can save some repetitive writing of input.

In the bin directory of hugegraph-loader-{version}, there is a script tool mapping-convert.sh that can directly convert the mapping file of version 1.0 to version 2.0. The usage is as follows:

bin/mapping-convert.sh struct.json

A struct-v2.json will be generated in the same directory as struct.json.

3.3.2 Input Source

Input sources are currently divided into four categories: FILE, HDFS, JDBC and KAFKA, which are distinguished by the type node. We call them local file input sources, HDFS input sources, JDBC input sources, and KAFKA input sources, which are described below.

3.3.2.1 Local file input source

• id: The id of the input source. This field is used to support some internal functions. It is not required (it will be automatically generated if it is not filled in). It is strongly recommended to write it, which is very helpful for debugging;
• skip: whether to skip the input source, because the JSON file cannot add comments, if you do not want to import an input source during a certain import, but do not want to delete the configuration of the input source, you can set it to true to skip it, the default is false, not required;
• input: input source map block, composite structure
  • type: input source type, file or FILE must be filled;
  • path: the path of the local file or directory, the absolute path or the relative path relative to the mapping file, it is recommended to use the absolute path, required;
  • file_filter: filter files with compound conditions from path, compound structure, currently only supports configuration extensions, represented by child node extensions, the default is “*”, which means to keep all files;
  • format: the format of the local file, the optional values ​​are CSV, TEXT and JSON, which must be uppercase and required;
  • header: the column name of each column of the file, if not specified, the first line of the data file will be used as the header; when the file itself has a header and the header is specified, the first line of the file will be treated as a normal data line; JSON The file does not need to specify a header, optional;
  • delimiter: The column delimiter of the file line, the default is comma "," as the delimiter, the JSON file does not need to be specified, optional;
  • charset: the encoded character set of the file, the default is UTF-8, optional;
  • date_format: custom date format, the default value is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, optional; if the date is presented in the form of a timestamp, this item must be written as timestamp (fixed writing);
  • time_zone: Set which time zone the date data is in, the default value is GMT+8, optional;
  • skipped_line: The line to be skipped, compound structure, currently only the regular expression of the line to be skipped can be configured, described by the child node regex, no line is skipped by default, optional;
  • compression: The compression format of the file, the optional values ​​are NONE, GZIP, BZ2, XZ, LZMA, SNAPPY_RAW, SNAPPY_FRAMED, Z, DEFLATE, LZ4_BLOCK, LZ4_FRAMED, ORC and PARQUET, the default is NONE, which means a non-compressed file, optional;
  • list_format: When a column of the file (non-JSON) is a collection structure (the Cardinality of the PropertyKey in the corresponding figure is Set or List), you can use this item to set the start character, separator, and end character of the column, compound structure :
    • start_symbol: The start character of the collection structure column (the default value is [, JSON format currently does not support specification)
    • elem_delimiter: the delimiter of the collection structure column (the default value is |, JSON format currently only supports native , delimiter)
    • end_symbol: the end character of the collection structure column (the default value is ], the JSON format does not currently support specification)

3.3.2.2 HDFS input source

The nodes and meanings of the above local file input source are basically applicable here. Only the different and unique nodes of the HDFS input source are listed below.

• type: input source type, must fill in hdfs or HDFS, required;
• path: the path of the HDFS file or directory, it must be the absolute path of HDFS, required;
• core_site_path: the path of the core-site.xml file of the HDFS cluster, the key point is to specify the address of the NameNode (fs.default.name) and the implementation of the file system (fs.hdfs.impl);

3.3.2.3 JDBC input source

As mentioned above, it supports multiple relational databases, but because their mapping structures are very similar, they are collectively referred to as JDBC input sources, and then use the vendor node to distinguish different databases.

• type: input source type, must fill in jdbc or JDBC, required;
• vendor: database type, optional options are [MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLServer], case-insensitive, required;
• driver: the type of driver used by jdbc, required;

• format: format of the local file, options are CSV, TEXT and JSON, must be uppercase, required;
• header: column name of each column of the file, if not specified, the first line of the data file will be used as the header; when the file itself has a header and the header is specified, the first line of the file will be treated as an ordinary data line; JSON files do not need to specify the header, optional;
• delimiter: delimiter of the file line, default is comma “,” as delimiter, JSON files do not need to specify, optional;
• charset: encoding charset of the file, default is UTF-8, optional;
• date_format: customized date format, default value is yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, optional; if the date is presented in the form of timestamp, this item must be written as timestamp (fixed);
• extra_date_formats: a customized list of other date formats, empty by default, optional; each item in the list is an alternate date format to the date_format specified date format;
• time_zone: set which time zone the date data is in, default is GMT+8, optional;
• skipped_line: the line you want to skip, composite structure, currently can only configure the regular expression of the line to be skipped, described by the child node regex, the default is not to skip any line, optional;
• early_stop: the record pulled from Kafka broker at a certain time is empty, stop the task, default is false, only for debugging, optional;

3.3.3 Vertex and Edge Mapping

The nodes of vertex and edge mapping (a key in the JSON file) have a lot of the same parts. The same parts are introduced first, and then the unique nodes of vertex map and edge map are introduced respectively.

Nodes of the same section

• label: label to which the vertex/edge data to be imported belongs, required;
• field_mapping: Map the column name of the input source column to the attribute name of the vertex/edge, optional;
• value_mapping: map the data value of the input source to the attribute value of the vertex/edge, optional;
• selected: select some columns to insert, other unselected ones are not inserted, cannot exist at the same time as ignored, optional;
• ignored: ignore some columns so that they do not participate in insertion, cannot exist at the same time as selected, optional;
• null_values: You can specify some strings to represent null values, such as “NULL”. If the vertex/edge attribute corresponding to this column is also a nullable attribute, the value of this attribute will not be set when constructing the vertex/edge, optional ;
• update_strategies: If the data needs to be updated in batches in a specific way, you can specify a specific update strategy for each attribute (see below for details), optional;
• unfold: Whether to unfold the column, each unfolded column will form a row with other columns, which is equivalent to unfolding into multiple rows; for example, the value of a certain column (id column) of the file is [1,2,3], The values ​​of other columns are 18,Beijing. When unfold is set, this row will become 3 rows, namely: 1,18,Beijing, 2,18,Beijing and 3,18, Beijing. Note that this will only expand the column selected as id. Default false, optional;

Update strategy supports 8 types: (requires all uppercase)

1. Value accumulation: SUM
2. Take the greater of the two numbers/dates: BIGGER
3. Take the smaller of two numbers/dates: SMALLER
4. Set property takes union: UNION
5. Set attribute intersection: INTERSECTION
6. List attribute append element: APPEND
7. List/Set attribute delete element: ELIMINATE
8. Override an existing property: OVERRIDE

Note: If the newly imported attribute value is empty, the existing old data will be used instead of the empty value. For the effect, please refer to the following example

// The update strategy is specified in the JSON file as follows
{
  "vertices": [
    {
      "label": "person",
      "update_strategies": {
        "age": "SMALLER",
        "set": "UNION"
      },
      "input": {
        "type": "file",
        "path": "vertex_person.txt",
        "format": "TEXT",
        "header": ["name", "age", "set"]
      }
    }
  ]
}

// 1. Write a line of data with the OVERRIDE update strategy (null means empty here)
'a b null null'

// 2. Write another line
'null null c d'

// 3. Finally we can get
'a b c d'   

// If there is no update strategy, you will get
'null null c d'

Note : After adopting the batch update strategy, the number of disk read requests will increase significantly, and the import speed will be several times slower than that of pure write coverage (at this time HDD disk [IOPS](https://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/IOPS) will be the bottleneck, SSD is recommended for speed)

Unique Nodes for Vertex Maps

• id: Specify a column as the id column of the vertex. When the vertex id policy is CUSTOMIZE, it is required; when the id policy is PRIMARY_KEY, it must be empty;

Unique Nodes for Edge Maps

• source: Select certain columns of the input source as the id column of source vertex. When the id policy of the source vertex is CUSTOMIZE, a certain column must be specified as the id column of the vertex; when the id policy of the source vertex is When PRIMARY_KEY, one or more columns must be specified for splicing the id of the generated vertex, that is, no matter which id strategy is used, this item is required;
• target: Specify certain columns as the id columns of target vertex, similar to source, so I won’t repeat them;
• unfold_source: Whether to unfold the source column of the file, the effect is similar to that in the vertex map, and will not be repeated;
• unfold_target: Whether to unfold the target column of the file, the effect is similar to that in the vertex mapping, and will not be repeated;

3.4 Execute command import

After preparing the graph model, data file, and input source mapping relationship file, the data file can be imported into the graph database.

The import process is controlled by commands submitted by the user, and the user can control the specific process of execution through different parameters.

3.4.1 Parameter description

3.4.2 Breakpoint Continuation Mode

Usually, the Loader task takes a long time to execute. If the import interrupt process exits for some reason, and next time you want to continue the import from the interrupted point, this is the scenario of using breakpoint continuation.

The user sets the command line parameter –incremental-mode to true to open the breakpoint resume mode. The key to breakpoint continuation lies in the progress file. When the import process exits, the import progress at the time of exit will be recorded. Recorded in the progress file, the progress file is located in the ${struct} directory, the file name is like load-progress ${date}, ${struct} is the prefix of the mapping file, and ${date} is the start of the import moment. For example, for an import task started at 2019-10-10 12:30:30, the mapping file used is struct-example.json, then the path of the progress file is the same as struct-example.json Sibling struct-example/load-progress 2019-10-10 12:30:30.

Note: The generation of progress files is independent of whether –incremental-mode is turned on or not, and a progress file is generated at the end of each import.

If the data file formats are all legal and the import task is stopped by the user (CTRL + C or kill, kill -9 is not supported), that is to say, if there is no error record, the next import only needs to be set Continue for the breakpoint.

But if the limit of –max-parse-errors or –max-insert-errors is reached because too much data is invalid or network abnormality is reached, Loader will record these original rows that failed to insert into In the failed file, after the user modifies the data lines in the failed file, set –reload-failure to true to import these “failed files” as input sources (does not affect the normal file import), Of course, if there is still a problem with the modified data line, it will be logged again to the failure file (don’t worry about duplicate lines).

Each vertex map or edge map will generate its own failure file when data insertion fails. The failure file is divided into a parsing failure file (suffix .parse-error) and an insertion failure file (suffix .insert-error). They are stored in the ${struct}/current directory. For example, there is a vertex mapping person and an edge mapping knows in the mapping file, each of which has some error lines. When the Loader exits, you will see the following files in the ${struct}/current directory:

• person-b4cd32ab.parse-error: Vertex map person parses wrong data
• person-b4cd32ab.insert-error: Vertex map person inserts wrong data
• knows-eb6b2bac.parse-error: edge map knows parses wrong data
• knows-eb6b2bac.insert-error: edge map knows inserts wrong data

.parse-error and .insert-error do not always exist together. Only lines with parsing errors will have .parse-error files, and only lines with insertion errors will have .insert-error files.

3.4.3 logs directory file description

The log and error data during program execution will be written into hugegraph-loader.log file.

3.4.4 Execute command

Run bin/hugegraph-loader and pass in parameters

bin/hugegraph-loader -g {GRAPH_NAME} -f ${INPUT_DESC_FILE} -s ${SCHEMA_FILE} -h {HOST} -p {PORT}

--------------------------------------------------
count metrics
     input read success            : 14
     input read failure            : 0
     vertex parse success          : 8

     edge parse failure            : 0
     edge insert success           : 6
     edge insert failure           : 0

4.5 Use Docker to load data

4.5.1 Use docker exec to load data directly

4.5.1.1 Prepare data

If you just want to try out the loader, you can import the built-in example dataset without needing to prepare additional data yourself.

If using custom data, before importing data with the loader, we need to copy the data into the container.

First, following the steps in 4.1-4.3, we can prepare the data and then use docker cp to copy the prepared data into the loader container.

Suppose we’ve prepared the corresponding dataset following the above steps, stored in the hugegraph-dataset folder with the following file structure:

tree -f hugegraph-dataset/

hugegraph-dataset
├── hugegraph-dataset/edge_created.json
├── hugegraph-dataset/edge_knows.json
├── hugegraph-dataset/schema.groovy
├── hugegraph-dataset/struct.json
├── hugegraph-dataset/vertex_person.csv
└── hugegraph-dataset/vertex_software.txt

Copy the files into the container.

docker cp hugegraph-dataset loader:/loader/dataset
docker exec -it loader ls /loader/dataset

edge_created.json  edge_knows.json  schema.groovy  struct.json  vertex_person.csv  vertex_software.txt

4.5.1.2 Data loading

Taking the built-in example dataset as an example, we can use the following command to load the data.

If you need to import your custom dataset, you just need to modify the paths for -f (data script) and -s (schema) configurations.

“You can refer to 3.4.1 Parameter description for the rest of the parameters.

docker exec -it loader bin/hugegraph-loader.sh -g hugegraph -f example/file/struct.json -s example/file/schema.groovy -h server -p 8080

If loading a custom dataset, following the previous example, you would use:

docker exec -it loader bin/hugegraph-loader.sh -g hugegraph -f /loader/dataset/struct.json -s /loader/dataset/schema.groovy -h server -p 8080

If loader and server are in the same Docker network, you can specify -h {server_container_name}; otherwise, you need to specify the IP of the server host (in our example, server_container_name is server).

Then we can obverse the result:

HugeGraphLoader worked in NORMAL MODE
vertices/edges loaded this time : 8/6
--------------------------------------------------
count metrics
    input read success            : 14                  
    input read failure            : 0                   
    vertex parse success          : 8                   
    vertex parse failure          : 0                   
    vertex insert success         : 8                   
    vertex insert failure         : 0                   
    edge parse success            : 6                   
    edge parse failure            : 0                   
    edge insert success           : 6                   
    edge insert failure           : 0

    edge load rate(edges/s)       : 53   

You can also use curl or hubble to observe the import result. Here’s an example using curl:

> curl "http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/vertices" | gunzip
{"vertices":[{"id":1,"label":"software","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"lop","lang":"java","price":328.0}},{"id":2,"label":"software","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"ripple","lang":"java","price":199.0}},{"id":"1:tom","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"tom"}},{"id":"1:josh","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"josh","age":32,"city":"Beijing"}},{"id":"1:marko","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"marko","age":29,"city":"Beijing"}},{"id":"1:peter","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"peter","age":35,"city":"Shanghai"}},{"id":"1:vadas","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"vadas","age":27,"city":"Hongkong"}},{"id":"1:li,nary","label":"person","type":"vertex","properties":{"name":"li,nary","age":26,"city":"Wu,han"}}]}

If you want to check the import result of edges, you can use curl "http://localhost:8080/graphs/hugegraph/graph/edges" | gunzip.

4.5.2 Enter the docker container to load data

Besides using docker exec directly for data import, we can also enter the container for data loading. The basic process is similar to 4.5.1.

Enter the container by docker exec -it loader bash and execute the command:

sh bin/hugegraph-loader.sh -g hugegraph -f example/file/struct.json -s example/file/schema.groovy -h server -p 8080

The results of the execution will be similar to those shown in 4.5.1.

4.6 Import data by spark-loader

Spark version: Spark 3+, other versions has not been tested.
HugeGraph Toolchain version: toolchain-1.0.0

The parameters of spark-loader are divided into two parts. Note: Because the abbreviations of these two parameter names have overlapping parts, please use the full name of the parameter. And there is no need to guarantee the order between the two parameters.

• hugegraph parameters (Reference: hugegraph-loader parameter description )
• Spark task submission parameters (Reference: Submitting Applications)

Example:

sh bin/hugegraph-spark-loader.sh --master yarn \
--deploy-mode cluster --name spark-hugegraph-loader --file ./hugegraph.json \
--username admin --token admin --host xx.xx.xx.xx --port 8093 \
--graph graph-test --num-executors 6 --executor-cores 16 --executor-memory 15g

3 - HugeGraph-Hubble Quick Start

1 HugeGraph-Hubble Overview

Note: The current version of Hubble has not yet added Auth/Login related interfaces and standalone protection, it will be added in the next Release version (≥ 1.5). Please be careful not to expose it in a public network environment or untrusted networks to avoid related SEC issues (you can also use IP & port whitelist + HTTPS)

HugeGraph-Hubble is HugeGraph’s one-stop visual analysis platform. The platform covers the whole process from data modeling, to efficient data import, to real-time and offline analysis of data, and unified management of graphs, realizing the whole process wizard of graph application. It is designed to improve the user’s use fluency, lower the user’s use threshold, and provide a more efficient and easy-to-use user experience.

The platform mainly includes the following modules:

Graph Management

The graph management module realizes the unified management of multiple graphs and graph access, editing, deletion, and query by creating graph and connecting the platform and graph data.

Metadata Modeling

The metadata modeling module realizes the construction and management of graph models by creating attribute libraries, vertex types, edge types, and index types. The platform provides two modes, list mode and graph mode, which can display the metadata model in real time, which is more intuitive. At the same time, it also provides a metadata reuse function across graphs, which saves the tedious and repetitive creation process of the same metadata, greatly improves modeling efficiency and enhances ease of use.

Graph Analysis

By inputting the graph traversal language Gremlin, high-performance general analysis of graph data can be realized, and functions such as customized multidimensional path query of vertices can be provided, and three kinds of graph result display methods are provided, including: graph form, table form, Json form, and multidimensional display. The data form meets the needs of various scenarios used by users. It provides functions such as running records and collection of common statements, realizing the traceability of graph operations, and the reuse and sharing of query input, which is fast and efficient. It supports the export of graph data, and the export format is Json format.

Task Management

For Gremlin tasks that need to traverse the whole graph, index creation and reconstruction, and other time-consuming asynchronous tasks, the platform provides corresponding task management functions to achieve unified management and result viewing of asynchronous tasks.

Data Import

“Note: The data import function is currently suitable for preliminary use. For formal data import, please use hugegraph-loader, which has much better performance, stability, and functionality.”

Data import is to convert the user’s business data into the vertices and edges of the graph and insert it into the graph database. The platform provides a wizard-style visual import module. By creating import tasks, the management of import tasks and the parallel operation of multiple import tasks are realized. Improve import performance. After entering the import task, you only need to follow the platform step prompts, upload files as needed, and fill in the content to easily implement the import process of graph data. At the same time, it supports breakpoint resuming, error retry mechanism, etc., which reduces import costs and improves efficiency.

2 Deploy

There are three ways to deploy hugegraph-hubble

• Use Docker (Convenient for Test/Dev)
• Download the Toolchain binary package
• Source code compilation

2.1 Use docker (Convenient for Test/Dev)

Special Note: If you are starting hubble with Docker, and hubble and the server are on the same host. When configuring the hostname for the graph on the Hubble web page, please do not directly set it to localhost/127.0.0.1. This will refer to the hubble container internally rather than the host machine, resulting in a connection failure to the server.

If hubble and server is in the same docker network, we recommend using the container_name (in our example, it is server) as the hostname, and 8080 as the port. Or you can use the host IP as the hostname, and the port is configured by the host for the server.

We can use docker run -itd --name=hubble -p 8088:8088 hugegraph/hubble to quick start hubble.

Alternatively, you can use Docker Compose to start hubble. Additionally, if hubble and the graph are in the same Docker network, you can access the graph using the container name of the graph, eliminating the need for the host machine’s IP address.

Use docker-compose up -d，docker-compose.yml is following:

version: '3'
services:
  server:
    image: hugegraph/hugegraph
    container_name: server
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

  hubble:
    image: hugegraph/hubble
    container_name: hubble
    ports:
      - 8088:8088

Note:

1. The docker image of hugegraph-hubble is a convenience release to start hugegraph-hubble quickly, but not official distribution artifacts. You can find more details from ASF Release Distribution Policy.

2. Recommand to use release tag(like 1.2.0) for the stable version. Use latest tag to experience the newest functions in development.

2.2 Download the Toolchain binary package

hubble is in the toolchain project. First, download the binary tar tarball

wget https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/hugegraph/{version}/apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-{version}.tar.gz
tar -xvf apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-{version}.tar.gz 
cd apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-{version}.tar.gz/apache-hugegraph-hubble-incubating-{version}

Run hubble

bin/start-hubble.sh

Then, we can see:

starting HugeGraphHubble ..............timed out with http status 502
2023-08-30 20:38:34 [main] [INFO ] o.a.h.HugeGraphHubble [] - Starting HugeGraphHubble v1.0.0 on cpu05 with PID xxx (~/apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-1.0.0/apache-hugegraph-hubble-incubating-1.0.0/lib/hubble-be-1.0.0.jar started by $USER in ~/apache-hugegraph-toolchain-incubating-1.0.0/apache-hugegraph-hubble-incubating-1.0.0)

2023-08-30 20:38:41 [main] [INFO ] o.a.h.HugeGraphHubble [] - Started HugeGraphHubble in 7.379 seconds (JVM running for 8.499)

Then use a web browser to access ip:8088 and you can see the Hubble page. You can stop the service using bin/stop-hubble.sh.

2.3 Source code compilation

Note: Compiling Hubble requires the user’s local environment to have Node.js V16.x and yarn installed.

apt install curl build-essential
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 16

Then, verify that the installed Node.js version is 16.x (please note that higher Node version may cause conflicts).

node -v

install yarn by the command below:

npm install -g yarn

Download the toolchain source code.

git clone https://github.com/apache/hugegraph-toolchain.git

Compile hubble. It depends on the loader and client, so you need to build these dependencies in advance during the compilation process (you can skip this step later).

cd incubator-hugegraph-toolchain
sudo pip install -r hugegraph-hubble/hubble-dist/assembly/travis/requirements.txt
mvn install -pl hugegraph-client,hugegraph-loader -am -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -DskipTests -ntp
cd hugegraph-hubble
mvn -e compile package -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -Dmaven.test.skip=true -ntp
cd apache-hugegraph-hubble-incubating*

Run hubble

bin/start-hubble.sh -d

3 Platform Workflow

The module usage process of the platform is as follows:

4 Platform Instructions

4.1 Graph Management
