Abstract
A continuous stream data (e.g., messages, tweets) is received by ingest nodes of a platform. The ingest nodes may analyze the data to create a transaction of graph updates, assign a sequence number to the transaction, and distribute the graph updates with the sequence number to graph nodes of the platform. The graph nodes may store graph updates from ingest nodes, and then the ingest nodes may report graph update progresses in a progress table. A snapshot may be taken based on the progress table, and then graph-mining computation may be implemented. Tolerate failures and decaying may be supported and incremental expansion may be allowed to cope with increasing update rates and computation needs.
