Abstract

In recent years, techniques for system-time versioning of database content are becoming more sophisticated and powerful, due to the demands of business-critical applications that require traceability of changes, auditing capabilities or historical data analysis. The essence of these techniques was standardized in 2011 when it was introduced as a part of the SQL standard. However, in NoSQL databases and in particular in the emerging graph technologies, these aspects are so far being neglected by database providers. In this paper, we present ChronoGrapha, the first TinkerPop graph database implementation that offers comprehensive support for content versioning and analysis, designed for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP). This paper offers two key contributions: the addition of our novel versioning concepts to the state of the art in graph databases, as well as their implementation as an open-source project. We demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed solution through controlled experiments.
