Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for query execution across multiple graphs. In an example, a graph or isolated collection may be split into multiple subparts, such that each subpart may store information of the isolated collection. Cross-collection reference resources may be used to reference resources that are stored by other isolated collection subparts. A breadth-first search of an isolated collection subpart may be performed in order to identify matches or potential matches in an isolated collection subpart. In an example, a potential match may comprise a cross-collection reference resource, which may reference a resource in another isolated collection subpart. Once query execution has completed in the isolated collection subpart, query execution may be paused and transferred to another isolated collection subpart that comprises a resource referenced by a cross-collection resource reference. Accordingly, query execution may resume in the subsequent isolated collection subpart.
