I have no idea to be honest. I would probably just create a query builder or directly a GLV, but the formulation sounds to me more like they they wrote their own Gremlin Server in C# and embed that in the library just like it can be done for JanusGraph or Titan in Java. That would explain at least how they "connect directly to DocumenDB data partitions". Sounds like a Titan/JanusGraph equivalent written in C# for their document database as the storage backend, but maybe the formulation is just odd and it's really only a query builder.
I will probably play a bit with their client and try to find out how it works. Fortunately they provide a docker image for Cosmos DB: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/documentdb/documentdb-nosql-local-emulator We will now for sure how it works when they publish the source code which they promise to do at some point in the future: https://github.com/Azure/azure-documentdb-dotnet/tree/master/sdk Am 10.05.2017 um 20:06 schrieb Stephen Mallette: > I didn't notice that.
