CACHING OF SUBGRAPHS AND INTEGRATION OF CACHED SUBGRAPHS INTO GRAPH QUERY RESULTS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer readable devices embodying instructions are provided herein for reducing latencies and/or improving computational efficiency when traversing data stored in a relational graph by caching subgraphs and enabling the utilization thereof. More specifically, after a user performs a graph query, the resulting subgraphs of the graph query are cached in a reusable form. Subsequent graph queries are able to identify cached subgraphs based on the graph query. Further, the subsequent graph query is operable to integrate the cached subgraphs as part of the result of subsequent graph query, which may include a portion or the entire result of the subsequent graph query being composed from cached subgraphs, thereby improving the computational efficiency and performance of querying relational graphs, reducing the query execution cost required to traverse the relational graphs, and improving the functionality of the computing devices hosting the relational graphs and running the queries.
