In the real world a graph is often fragmented and distributed across different sites. This highlights the need for evaluating queries on distributed graphs. This paper proposes distributed evaluation algorithms for three classes of queries: reachability for determining whether one node can reach another, bounded reachability for deciding whether there exists a path of a bounded length between a pair of nodes, and regular reachability for checking whether there exists a path connecting two nodes such that the node labels on the path form a string in a given regular expression. We develop these algorithms based on partial evaluation, to explore parallel computation. When evaluating a query Q on a distributed graph G, we show that these algorithms possess the following performance guarantees, no matter how G is fragmented and distributed: (1) each site is visited only once; (2) the total network traffic is determined by the size of Q and the fragmentation of G, independent of the size of G; and (3) the response time is decided by the largest fragment of G rather than the entire G. In addition, we show that these algorithms can be readily implemented in the MapReduce framework. Using synthetic and real-life data, we experimentally verify that these algorithms are scalable on large graphs, regardless of how the graphs are distributed.

Reachability query is a fundamental problem on graphs, which has been extensively studied in academia and industry. Since graphs are subject to frequent updates in many applications, it is essential to support efficient graph updates while offering g ood performance in reachability queries. Existing solutions compress the original graph with the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and propose efficient query processing and index update techniques. However, they focus on optimizing the scenarios where the Strong Connected Components(SCCs) remain unchanged and have overlooked the prohibitively high cost of the DAG maintenance when SCCs are updated. In this paper, we propose DBL, an efficient DAG-free index to support the reachability query on dynamic graphs with insertion-only updates. DBL builds on two complementary indexes: Dynamic Landmark (DL) label and Bidirectional Leaf (BL) label. The former leverages landmark nodes to quickly determine reachable pairs whereas the latter prunes unreachable pairs by indexing the leaf nodes in the graph. We evaluate DBL against the state-of-the-art approaches on dynamic reachability index with extensive experiments on real-world datasets. The results have demonstrated that DBL achieves orders of magnitude speedup in terms of index update, while still producing competitive query efficiency.
Graphs are widely used to model data in many application domains. Thanks to the wide spread use of GPS-enabled devices, many applications assign a spatial attribute to graph vertices (e.g., geo-tagged social media). Users may issue a Reachability Que ry with Spatial Range Predicate (abbr. RangeReach). RangeReach finds whether an input vertex can reach any spatial vertex that lies within an input spatial range. An example of a RangeReach query is: Given a social graph, find whether Alice can reach any of the venues located within the geographical area of Arizona State University. The paper proposes GeoReach an approach that adds spatial data awareness to a graph database management system (GDBMS). GeoReach allows efficient execution of RangeReach queries, yet without compromising a lot on the overall system scalability (measured in terms of storage size and initialization/maintenance time). To achieve that, GeoReach is equipped with a light-weight data structure, namely SPA-Graph, that augments the underlying graph data with spatial indexing directories. When a RangeReach query is issued, the system employs a pruned-graph traversal approach. Experiments based on real system implementation inside Neo4j proves that GEOREACH exhibits up to two orders of magnitude better query response time and up to four times less storage than the state-of-the-art spatial and reachability indexing approaches.
A temporal graph is a graph in which vertices communicate with each other at specific time, e.g., $A$ calls $B$ at 11 a.m. and talks for 7 minutes, which is modeled by an edge from $A$ to $B$ with starting time 11 a.m. and duration 7 mins. Temporal g raphs can be used to model many networks with time-related activities, but efficient algorithms for analyzing temporal graphs are severely inadequate. We study fundamental problems such as answering reachability and time-based path queries in a temporal graph, and propose an efficient indexing technique specifically designed for processing these queries in a temporal graph. Our results show that our method is efficient and scalable in both index construction and query processing.
Acting on time-critical events by processing ever growing social media or news streams is a major technical challenge. Many of these data sources can be modeled as multi-relational graphs. Continuous queries or techniques to search for rare events th at typically arise in monitoring applications have been studied extensively for relational databases. This work is dedicated to answer the question that emerges naturally: how can we efficiently execute a continuous query on a dynamic graph? This paper presents an exact subgraph search algorithm that exploits the temporal characteristics of representative queries for online news or social media monitoring. The algorithm is based on a novel data structure called the Subgraph Join Tree (SJ-Tree) that leverages the structural and semantic characteristics of the underlying multi-relational graph. The paper concludes with extensive experimentation on several real-world datasets that demonstrates the validity of this approach.
Structural indexing is an approach to accelerating query evaluation, whereby data objects are partitioned and indexed reflecting the precise expressive power of a given query language. Each partition block of the index holds exactly those objects tha t are indistinguishable with respect to queries expressible in the language. Structural indexes have proven successful for XML, RDF, and relational data management. In this paper we study structural indexing for conjunctive path queries (CPQ). CPQ forms the core of contemporary graph query languages such as SPARQL, Cypher, PGQL, and G-CORE. CPQ plays the same fundamental role with respect to contemporary graph query languages as the classic conjunctive queries play for SQL. We develop the first practical structural indexes for this important query language. In particular, we propose a structural index based on k-path-bisimulation, tightly coupled to the expressive power of CPQ, and develop algorithms for efficient query processing with our index. Furthermore, we study workload-aware structural indexes to reduce both the construction and space costs according to a given workload. We demonstrate through extensive experiments using real and synthetic graphs that our methods accelerate query processing by up to multiple orders of magnitude over the state-of-the-art methods, without increasing index size.
