The multi-model Big Graph Store
A massively scalable Big Data graph store designed for holding and querying vast amounts of raw data.
It can store objects and links with multi-valued properties and raw data, fast queries, aggregations, distributed data processing pipelines and super-strong security (row and property-level).
Can be used to build solutions that cover most data analytics use cases and industry requirements, from financial analysis to social media and cybersecurity.
Can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or both.
- Dynamic data model (concepts, relations, properties, tables), multivalued properties and property metadata support
- Authorizations and visibilities for rows and columns
- Indexing for fast search: full-text, fuzzy, spatial, aggregations
- Async distributed processing pipeline for applying custom logic on import/update/delete operationg
- Cypher query language support
- Super extensible and modular
- Beautiful feature-rich visual explorer

BigConnect can be run just about anywhere using the deployment methods described below.
To run the latest build via Docker with the RocksDB backend and embeded ElasticSearch, just type
docker run -d -p 10242:10242 -p 10243:10243 bigconnect/bigconnect
If you would like to persist data between runs you can supply a volume to the docker run command:
docker run -d -p 10242:10242 -p 10243:10243 -v /tmp/datastore:/bc/datastore bigconnect/bigconnect
Now, open a browser and go to http://localhost:10243/cypherlab/index.html
Login with the following details:
- Connect URL: bolt://localhost:10242
- Username: admin
- Password admin
The easiest way to interact with BigConnect is to use the Cypher query language.
Get started by following the Cypher tutorials available here.
To run the latest build you need to build the project first. You need to have Maven installed and JDK11.
mvn -Pbin-release clean install
The release artifacts are available in the release/target/bc-core-* folder
Advanced installations require a Hadoop cluster with Apache Accumulo 1.9, RabbitMQ and an ElasticSearch 7.6+ cluster.
