My understanding so far is that OrientDB has two type of Edges. Regular and Lightweight. The regular provides more flexibility and functionality at the cost of additional storage and performance. Its also my understanding that the lightweight edge is by default turned off with orientdb which makes it seem as though regular edges is the preferred over lightweight.
So my questions are: 1. Is the difference in performance and/or storage significant with standard edges vs lightweight? If so, is it only affected in large databases? If so, what is considered Large? 2. The documentation states that Lightweight edges are hard to work with? If you agree, is it so difficult that you would question using them instead of regular edges? 3. Which do you prefer? In what situation would you switch to using the alternate edge to your preference? -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OrientDB" group.
