TinkerPop 2.3.0 has been unleashed
Thursday, March 21st, 2013TinkerPop2 Release
Thursday, May 24th, 2012A message from Marko Rodriguez announced the release of TinkerPop2 with notes on the major features of each:
Blueprints: https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/Release-Notes
- Massive changes to blueprints-core API
Pipes: https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes/wiki/Release-Notes
- TreePipe added for exposing the spanning tree of a traversal
Gremlin: https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Release-Notes
- Automatic path and query optimizations
- https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/downloads (download)
Frames: https://github.com/tinkerpop/frames/wiki/Release-Notes
- FramedGraph is simply a wrapper graph in the Blueprints sense
Rexster: https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/Release-Notes
- Synchronicity with the Blueprints API
- https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/downloads (download)
BTW, Marko says:
As you may know, there are big changes to the API: package renaming, new core API method names, etc. While this may be shocking, it is all worth it. In 2 weeks, there is going to be a release of something very big for which TinkerPop2 will be a central piece of the puzzle. Stay tuned and get ready for a summer of insane, crazy graph madness.
So, something to look forward to!
A TinkerPop Story
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011From the post:
In a time long, long right now and a place far, far within, there exists a little green gremlin named…well, Gremlin. Gremlin lives in a place known as TinkerPop. For those who think of a “place” as some terrestrial surface coating a sphere that is circling one of the many massive fiery nuclear reactors in the known universe, TinkerPop is that, yet at the same time, a wholly different type of place indeed.
In a day of obscure (are there any other kind?) errors and annoyances, this is an absolute delight!
Highly recommended!

An Introduction to Tinkerpop
Saturday, October 8th, 2011An Introduction to Tinkerpop by Takahiro Inoue.
Excellent introduction to the Tinkerpop stack.
Furnace — A Property Graph Algorithms Package
Sunday, September 25th, 2011Furnace — A Property Graph Algorithms Package
Marko Rodriguez posted the following note to the Grelim-users mailing list today:
Hello,
For many months, the TinkerPop community has been trying to realize the best way to go about providing a graph analysis package to the TinkerPop stack ( http://bit.ly/qCMlcP ). With the increased flexibility and power of Pipes and the partitioning of Gremlin into multiple JVM languages, we feel that the stack is organized correctly now to support Furnace — A Property Graph Algorithms Package.
http://furnace.tinkerpop.com
( https://github.com/tinkerpop/furnace/wiki if the domain hasn’t propagated to your DNS yet )The project is currently just stubbed, but overtime you can expect the ability to evaluate standard (and non-standard) graph analysis algorithms over Blueprints-enabled graphs in a way that respects explicit and implicit associations in the graph. In short, it will implement the ideas articulated in:
http://markorodriguez.com/2011/02/08/property-graph-algorithms/
http://arxiv.org/abs/0806.2274This will be possible due to Pipes and the ability to represent abstract relationships using Pipes, Gremlin_groovy (and the upcoming Gremlin_scala). Moreover, while more thought is needed, there will be a way to talk at the Frames-levels (http://frames.tinkerpop.com) and thus, calculate graph algorithms according to one’s domain model. Ultimately, in time, as Furnace develops, we will see a Rexster-Kibble that supports the evaluation of algorithms via Rexster.
While the project is still developing, please feel free to contribute ideas and/or participate in the development process. To conclude, we hope people are excited about the promises that Furnace will bring by raising the processing abstraction level above the imperative representations of Pipes/Gremlin.
Thank you,
Marko.http://markorodriguez.com
You have been waiting for the opportunity to contribute to the Tinkerpop stack, particularly on graph analysis, so here is your chance! Seriously, you need to forward this to every graph person, graph project and graduate student taking graph theory.
We can use simple graphs and hope (pray?) the world is a simple place. Or use more complex graphs to model the world. Do you feel lucky? Do you?
Tinkerpop Stack Releases
Sunday, September 18th, 2011Marko Rodriguez announced a new round of Tinkerpop Stack Releases today:
The TinkerPop stack went through another round of releases this morning.
- Blueprints 1.0 (Blueprints): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/Release-Notes
- Pipes 0.8 (Cleaner): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes/wiki/Release-Notes
- Frames 0.5 (Beams): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/frames/wiki/Release-Notes
- Gremlin 1.3 (On the Case): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Release-Notes
- Rexster 0.6 (Dalmatian): = https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/Release-Notes
- Rexster-Kibbles 0.6 = http://rexster-kibbles.tinkerpop.com
For those using Gremlin, Pipes, and Rexster, be sure to look through the release notes as APIs have changed slightly. Here are the main points of this release:
- Blueprints now has transaction buffers and Neo4jBatchGraph for bulk loading a Neo4j graph.
- Pipes makes use of FluentPipeline and PipeFunction which yields great expressivity and further opens up the framework to other JVM languages.
- Gremlin is ~2.5x faster in many situations and has relegated most of its functionality to Pipes and native Java.
- Rexster supports Neo4j High Availability and more updates to its REST API.
TinkerPop – New Releases
Monday, August 1st, 2011Good news from Marko Rodriguez:
TinkerPop just released a new round of stable releases.
Blueprints 0.9 (Mavin) – https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/Release-Notes
Pipes 0.7 (PVC) – https://github.com/tinkerpop/pipes/wiki/Release-Notes
Frames 0.4 (Studs) – https://github.com/tinkerpop/frames/wiki/Release-Notes
Gremlin 1.2 (New Sheriff in Town) – https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Release-Notes
Rexster 0.5 (Dog Star) – https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki/Release-Notes
Here is the main points with each release:
- Blueprints:
- Vertex API changed so now you have Vertex.getInEdges(String… labels) and Vertex.getOutEdges(String… labels)
- Heavy development on GraphSail which turns any IndexableGraph into Sail RDF store
- Pipes:
- Introduced PipeClosure pattern which allows for closure-based pipes in native Java
- Migrated all “Gremlin-specific pipes” (closure-based) to Pipes
- Opening up the stage for data flow traversal languages for any JVM language
- Frames:
- Added helper interfaces VertexFrame and EdgeFrame
- Gremlin:
- Support the easy definition of new steps with
Gremlin.defineStep() - Mass migration of all “Gremlin-specific pipes” to Pipes
- Support for processing closures in aggregate, groupCount, and paths
- Rexster:
- Added RexPro (the future foundation for the Rexster’s multi-protocol infrastructure).
- Added rexster-console.sh (RexsterConsole) to allow remote “mysql>”-style interactions via any JSR 223-based JVM language
- JSON serialization inherited from Blueprints (consistent throughout TinkerPop stack)
Cloning Tinkerpop Repositories
Friday, July 1st, 2011Instructions on creating a local copy of the Gremlin wiki (posted to the gremlin-users@googlegroups.com mailing list by Pierre De Wilde).
The instructions (with minor formatting changes) from his post:
For those who want a local copy of Gremlin wiki:
cd gremlin
git clone https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin.wiki.git
doc/wiki
cd doc/wiki
gollumOpen your browser at http://localhost:4567 and ta-da…
Moreover, the wiki is searchable and (unlike the github version) it’s printer-fiendly.
Gollum is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
https://github.com/github/gollum
To install Gollum, use RubyGems (http://rubygems.org/):
[sudo] gem install gollumcd cd
Of course, the same procedure may be applied for other Tinkerpop repositories (blueprints, pipes, frames, rexster, rexster-kibbles).
Unfortunately, gollum cannot access multiple repositories at once, so you will need to launch several versions with a different port (gollum -port xxxx)
Thanks Pierre!
