Gremlin is a Groovy based Graph Traversal Language. It provides a very expressive way of explicitly scripting traversals through a Neo4j graph.
The Neo4j Gremlin Plugin provides an endpoint to send Gremlin scripts to the Neo4j Server.
The scripts are executed on the server database and the results are returned as Neo4j Node and Relationship representations.
This keeps the types throughout the REST API consistent.
The results are quite verbose when returning Neo4j Node
,
Relationship
or Graph
representations.
On the other hand, just return properties like in the Section 18.16.4, “Send a Gremlin Script - JSON encoded with table results”
example for responses tailored to specific needs.
Scripts can be sent as URL-encoded In this example, the graph has been autoindexed by Neo4j, so we can look up the name property on nodes.

Import a graph form a GraphML file can be achieved through the Gremlin GraphMLReader. The following script imports a small GraphML file from an URL into Neo4j, resulting in the depicted graph. It then returns a list of all nodes in the graph.

To send a Script JSON encoded, set the payload Content-Type Header. In
this example, find all the things that my friends like, and return a
table listing my friends by their name, and the names of the things they
like in a table with two columns, ignoring the third named step variable
I
. Remember that everything in Gremlin is an iterator - in order to
populate the result table t
, iterate through the pipes with
iterate()
.

To set variables in the bindings for the Gremlin Script Engine on the
server, you can include a params
parameter with a String representing a
JSON map of variables to set to initial values. These can then be
accessed as normal variables within the script.

This example demonstrates that you via the Groovy runtime embedded with the server have full access to all of the servers Java APIs. The below example creates Nodes in the database both via the Blueprints and the Neo4j API indexes the nodes via the native Neo4j Indexing API constructs a custom Lucene sorting and searching returns a Neo4j IndexHits result iterator.

Imagine a user being part of different groups. A group can have different
roles, and a user can be part of different groups. He also can have
different roles in different groups apart from the membership. The
association of a User, a Group and a Role can be referred to as a
HyperEdge. However, it can be easily modeled in a property graph as a
node that captures this n-ary relationship, as depicted below in the
U1G2R1
node.
To find out in what roles a user is for a particular groups (here Group2), the following script can traverse this HyperEdge node and provide answers.

Multiple traversals can be combined into a single result, using splitting and merging pipes in a lazy fashion.

This example demonstrates basic collaborative filtering - ordering a traversal after occurence counts and substracting objects that are not interesting in the final result.
Here, we are finding Friends-of-Friends that are not Joes friends
already. The same can be applied to graphs of users that LIKE
things
and others.

This example is showing a group count in Germlin, for instance the counting of the different relationship types connected to some the start node. The result is collected into a variable that then is returned.

This is a basic stub example for implementing flow algorithms in for
instance Flow Networks with a
pipes-based approach and scripting, here between source
and sink
using the capacity
property on relationships as the base for the flow
function and modifying the graph during calculation.
