HugeGraph Server

HugeGraph Server consists of two layers of functionality: the graph engine layer, and the storage layer.

  • Graph Engine Layer:

    • REST Server: Provides a RESTful API for querying graph/schema information, supports the Gremlin and Cypher query languages, and offers APIs for service monitoring and operations.
    • Graph Engine: Supports both OLTP and OLAP graph computation types, with OLTP implementing the Apache TinkerPop3 framework.
    • Backend Interface: Implements the storage of graph data to the backend.

  • Storage Layer:

    • Storage Backend: Includes RocksDB (default, embedded), HStore (distributed), HBase (deprecated and planned for removal in 2.0), and the test-only Memory backend. Users can extend custom backends without modifying the existing source code.

Backend Evolution and Compatibility

The current mainline does not include implementations for the historical backends. The following timeline distinguishes current support from legacy compatibility guidance:

┌─────────────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────────────┐
│           1.0           │     │           1.5           │     │           2.x           │
│     Historical era      │     │ Compatibility boundary  │     │     Future roadmap      │
│                         │     │            ↓            │     │                         │
│    MySQL · PostgreSQL   │────▶│    1.7–2.0 mainline     │────▶│    RocksDB · HStore     │
│   Cassandra · ScyllaDB  │     │    RocksDB · HStore     │     │                         │
│       Palo · HBase      │     │    HBase: deprecated    │     │    (HBase: removed)     │
└─────────────────────────┘     └─────────────────────────┘     └─────────────────────────┘

Memory remains a test-only backend throughout. Historical backend users must operate and maintain a compatible release; these implementations are not restored to the current source tree or distribution packages.

Docker

Standalone Mode

docker run -itd --name=hugegraph -p 8080:8080 hugegraph/hugegraph:1.7.0

Use release tags (e.g., 1.7.0) for stable deployments. The latest tag is intended for testing or development only.

Distributed Mode (PD + Store + Server)

For a full distributed deployment, use the compose file in the docker/ directory at the repository root:

cd docker
HUGEGRAPH_VERSION=1.7.0 docker compose -f docker-compose-3pd-3store-3server.yml up -d

See docker/README.md for the full setup guide.

RISC-V Development and Testing

The RISC-V Server CI validates a RocksDB-only Server build and runtime smoke test on 64-bit Linux RISC-V through QEMU. It is a correctness check, not a performance benchmark. (other backends & non-64-bit Linux RISC-V environments are out of scope)
