Introduction to JanusGraph Database
summary
JanusGraph is a scalable property graph database that claims to handle billions of vertices and edges across clusters and implements the TinkerPop/Gremlin traversal API. Deployments at IBM include an engagement-analytics graph that finds high‑value connector employees for retention and an airline routing prototype using geo‑coordinate hops. Architecture separates schema/transaction layers from pluggable storage and indexing (examples: Cassandra + Elasticsearch, HBase, FoundationDB, Solr). Work-in-progress: language drivers (.NET released, Python/JS nearing), Docker images, but public benchmarking is sparse.
