System and method for managing graph data

Abstract

A system for managing graph data and methods for making and using same. A loading plan can be generated according to a loading job. Source data can be loaded into the graph model based on the loading plan. The loading job can be defined declaratively. An interpreter can encode the loading job to generate the loading plan having a tree structure. The loading plan can instruct a loading engine to load the source data. The loading engine can be compiled independent of the loading plan. Advantageously, the loading engine can be compiled no more than once. The compiled loading engine can interpret any loading plan. The compiled loading engine can filter or transform the source data at runtime of the loading. Advantageously, time for compiling the loading engine and reading source data can be saved. Graph data loading can have high flexibility and high performance.
