LIquid: A Large-Scale Relational Graph Database

Monday Oct 2 / 10:35AM PDT, Ballroom A

Abstract

We describe LIquid(1 2), the graph database built to host LinkedIn. At LinkedIn, LIquid serves a ~15Tb graph at ~2M QPS. We describe the graph data model precisely in terms of the relational model and explain how to query it with Datalog. We describe how to do this in memory at scale.
