This isn't a graph database like neo4j. This is a graph database like I hoped neo4j would be. It's not about having an easier time working with schemas. It's about analyzing graphs that are too big to fit in RAM. Transaction analysis for banks, trafic analysis of roads, failure resilience of utility networks, etc.

In these kinds of workloads you quickly run into performance bottlenecks. Even in-memory analyses need care to avoid conplete pointer chasing slowdowns.

I do still hope this is fast in like a single CPU 32 core 64GB system with an SSD. But if this takes a cluster to be useful, then I will still love it.
