Graph on Redis is cool and I get that hexastore is the way to go. Its very different from the Neo4J like graphs where the nodes and edges have properties. Hexastore is more based on the W3C RDF model. What confuses me is then why not have SPARQL as the query language?

Although RedisGraph current version uses the concept of a Hexastore to represent the Graph I'm not sure this is the best way to go both memory (X6) and CPUwise (when traversing the graph).

That said RedisGraph does supports both nodes and edges properties as these are not stored within the Hexastore but on the actual entity object.

The new version of RedisGraph which will be presented at RedisConf2018 will completely replace the Hexastore with a new data structure which is better suitable in terms of both memory and cpu.

That’s great to hear! I see RedisConf is at April’s end. Would it be possible to get early access? RedisGraph is a crucial component of a system I am designing.

Well, RedisGraph is an open source project, you can browse its repository at https://github.com/RedisLabsModules/redis-graph

Although the work which will be presented at Redis Conf has yet to be published.

I was indeed wondering about the upcoming release.
