I work with hypergraphs, where edges have an arbitrary number of nodes. I'm quickly looking through your documentation, Discuss, and GitHub issues/roadmap to try and find out if edges may have more than two nodes.

This has been asked about already: https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/issues/1#issuecomment-40...

While we have your attention on HN, could you comment? (Sorry if I missed this information elsewhere.)

Thank you!

Hi Richard,

What applications/problems are you solving using hypergraphs? There is definitely a dearth of high performance hypergraph processing engines/systems.

(Dgraph founder here) Dgraph's edges only have two nodes, sorry.
in what scenario would you need an edge with two nodes rather than just making a node to represent the connection
