Hello everyone, I am VGalaxies, a new contributor to Apache HugeGraph. I am excited to share with you a new feature that I have been working on for the past few months. Currently, the architecture of HugeGraph is a monolithic one centered around hugegraph-server. In order to improve the scalability and performance of HugeGraph, the community have designed and implemented a distributed architecture with two additional modules: hugegraph-pd and hugegraph-store, which support graph data partitioning and multiple replicas, and separate storage from computation for flexible scaling. The responsibilities of these two modules are as follows: - hugegraph-pd: pd stands for placement driver, which is a meta server responsible for service discovery, partition information management, and node scheduling. - hugegraph-store: this is a new built-in storage backend, which uses RocksDB as the distributed backend storage engine. This feature is inspired by the internal version of HugeGraph that has been used in some scenarios. I have merged the code of PD and Store into HugeGraph on the preview branch 'pd-store'[1], and made some adjustments to the project structure, configurations, and related codes. You can find the details in this issue[2]. I have also done some preliminary tests and validations, and the results are promising. I hope you are interested in this feature and would like to participate in the development and testing. You can also leave your comments and suggestions in the issue[2] or reply to me in this thread. Appreciate any suggestion/feedback & contribution. Thank you for your attention and support. Best regards, VGalaxies Reference:
