Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing ad-hoc analytical queries of graph data. An embodiment operates by receiving a graph pattern for a subgraph of interest. The facts of interest are then selected from graph data based on the received graph pattern. Dimensions are then defined based on a dimension seed pattern and a set of level expressions, and measures are defined based on a computation function and an aggregation function. A graph cube is formed based on the selected facts and the defined dimensions and measures. Because the facts, dimensions, and measures of interest are defined at the time of an analytical query, a user does not have to define such facts, dimensions, and measures, or know which analytical queries will be of interest, at the time of data collection.

Ad-hoc analytical query of graph data

A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer-readable storage medium for a data graph traversal are provided. The input parameters for traversing the data graph are received. The data graph having a set of vertices and a set of edges are stored in a column based format in a memory cache of a computer device based on the input parameters is traversed. The traversal generates a set of traversed vertices that are the result of the graph traversal.
