Marko Rodriguez, graph database guru and contributor to the open source project TinkerPop, has written a post discussing the current state of the union of the TinkerPop project and its various subprojects. TinkerPop is an open source software development group launched in fall 2009 to focus on technologies in the emerging graph database area.

As of Spring 2011, TinkerPop's most popular projects include:

The Gremlin in the Graph

One of the chief complaints about various NoSQL solutions is that they do not have a unified query interface. How you query in MongoDB differs drastically from, say, Cassandra. Fortunately, at least in the graph family of NoSQL databases a series of projects are emerging to change all of that.

We have a presentation about one of those projects. Gremlin. What is Gremlin you might ask?

Gremlin 0.5.5 and Pipes 0.1.1 Released

New versions of Gremlin and Pipes are now available

Paul Jackson noted a pretty serious bug in Pipes 0.1 that caused the ../ operator in Gremlin 0.5 to not work correctly in some situations. Given the severity of the crime, Pavel and I decided to release Pipes 0.1.1 w/ fix and, in turn, Gremlin 0.5.5 (which depends on Pipes 0.1.1). What is cool is that Gremlin 0.5.5 comes with lots of new stuff.

One note, these two packages depend on Blueprints 0.2 and as such do not support OrientDB transactions and multi-indices.
