Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that searches a graph database. During operation, the system obtains a log-based representation of a graph database storing a graph, wherein the graph comprises a set of nodes, a set of edges between pairs of nodes in the set of nodes, and a set of predicates. Next, the system obtains a first query containing a first search pattern for searching the log-based representation. The system then matches the first search pattern to one or more records in the log-based representation. Finally, the system outputs, as a first result of the first query, the one or more records in a subgraph of the graph.
