WHAT IS TINKERPOP?
Apache TinkerPop is an open-source, vendor-agnostic, graph computing framework distributed under the commercial friendly Apache2 license. When a data system is TinkerPop-enabled, its users are able to model their domain as a graph and analyze that graph using the Gremlin query language. All TinkerPop-enabled systems integrate with one another allowing them to easily expand their offerings as well as allowing users to choose the appropriate graph technology for their application.
WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN GREMLIN?Pretty much every graph database can be queried with Gremlin--and Microsoft just announced Gremlin/TinkerPop support for its own Azure Cosmos DB. Gremlin is well on its way to becoming the SQL of graph query languages.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This workshop uses the reference implementation of TinkerPop Gremlin, and a handful of sample data sets, to teach the Gremlin traversal language through hands-on examples.
For most students, their hands will never leave the keyboard as they follow the instructor and the examples in the student handout. At the end of the course, students will:
Section 1: Introduction to Property Graphs
Apache TinkerPop, Gremlin Console, traversals vs. graphs, elements of a property graph: vertex, edge, property. Iterating results.
Section 2: Basic Traversals - Finding, Filtering & Projecting
Finding vertices, finding edges, returning property values. Traversing the graph. Filtering using predicates and the where(), is() and has() steps.
Section 3: Mutating the Graph - Adding, Changing & Deleting Data
Graph API vs. the Traversal API. Adding vertices, edges, properties. Editing properties. Removing properties, edges, vertices. Dropping a graph.
Section 4: Common Transformations - Grouping, Ordering & Aggregations
Review projections. Simple grouping examples. Ordering results by a property value. Aggregations.
