Curate Labs / DecisionNerd release note.
GraphForge v0.3.9: Performance
GraphForge v0.3.9 focused on performance without giving up the 100% openCypher TCK compliance achieved in v0.3.8.
The release improved parsing, property lookup, traversal demand, ingestion, SQLite configuration, and developer tooling.
What Shipped
- LALR(1) parser replacing Earley parsing
- Property equality index for O(1) node lookup by property value
- LIMIT short-circuiting for traversal and UNWIND cases
- Bulk ingestion APIs and deferred statistics rebuilds
- SQLite PRAGMA tuning
elementId()support- Traversal correctness fixes for hop predicates and edge uniqueness
- Pre-push tooling and coverage threshold improvements
Why We're Excited
Correctness makes a graph engine credible. Performance makes it usable. This release started turning the compliant engine into something more comfortable for larger analytical workloads.
