Vasia Kalavri updated FLINK-2941:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
By connecting Flink/Gelly with a graph database like neo4j we can facilitate 
interesting use-cases, like:
- use neo4j as an input source, i.e. read the complete graph or a subgraph from 
a neo4j database, import it into Flink and run a graph analysis task with Gelly.
- use neo4j as a sink, i.e. perform ETL on some data in Flink to create a graph 
and insert the graph in a neo4j database for further querying.

We have started a discussion on possible implementations and have looked into 
similar projects, e.g. connecting neo4j to Spark. Some initial thoughts and 
experiences can be found in [this 
document|https://docs.google.com/document/d/13qT_e-y8aTNWQnD43jRBq1074Y1LggPNDsic_Obwc28/edit?usp=sharing].
 Please, feel free to comment and add ideas! I will also start a discussion in 
the mailing list with more concrete problems that we would like to get feedback 
on.
