In this post, I will walk through how to visualize data from Cassandra in Superset (by means of Presto), and along the way share some observations about my experience and potential use cases that might be interesting for you. Apache Superset has been around for a while now and has…

For several months now I have had my eye on G.V() IDE, an exciting new development in the Tinkerpop/Gremlin world. However, I wanted to wait for G.V() IDE to have compatibility with DSE Graph before giving it a test run — which became true as of the recent 0.9.14 release…

Graph data readily lends itself to visualization — and notebooks make it easy to do just that. In this post, we will test out the Graph Notebook tool put out by the AWS team on JanusGraph. Introduction One of the key selling points of graph technology is that the data model…

Introduction In the first part of this blog series, we looked at the underlying issue that supernodes cause in DSE Graph due to how partitioning in Cassandra works and solutions that have been put forward for DSE Graph 5.x and 6.0–6.7. In the second part, we took a look at what…

Introduction In part one of this series, we explored differences between DSE Graph 5.x and 6.0–6.7 regarding how it partitions edges and vertices in Cassandra, and what this meant in regard to how you would go about breaking apart your supernodes in order to avoid wide partitions in your DSE cluster…

Introduction In the graph world, supernodes are a common yet devastating problem. In the Cassandra world, wide-partitions can be paralyzing and have a ripple effect across your cluster. Put them together, and you’ve got yourself into a lot of trouble! Supernodes can impact your cluster in many different ways, but it…

If you like wrestling with dependencies and version incompatibility issues as much as I do, then this post is for you! This post arises out of a project requiring execution of Gremlin traversals using multiple query APIs, and from both a DSE Graph Analytics cluster and an external Spark cluster…
