Hi! I hope you had some good bear friday! ;)
Do you think a (web)socket interface to neo4j could be done and integrated into the core? I do not like the idea of using a high performance graph database with fast indices (like neo4j is) and than the only interface to it is a HTTP RESTful API to it. Or are my assumptions and fears wrong? kind regards --- Thomas FRITZ web http://fritzthomas.com twitter http://twitter.com/thomasf 2011/8/26 Rick Bullotta <[email protected]>: > We're doing some similar things using XMPP pub-sub and BOSH... > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Thomas Fritz > Sent: Friday, August 26, 2011 10:49 AM > To: Neo4j user discussions > Subject: Re: [Neo4j] Websocket Server instead of REST for Neo4J for access a > DB > > If you like partial results take a look at this paper: > http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=131524 and > this cast: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX11/RES04 > > It uses rabin fingerprinting to detect changed chunks and only > transfers these changed chunks (like rsync does).
