A technical blog from Chris Gioran - Concurrent Programming, Garbage Collection and Graph Database Technology. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. A new cache for Neo4j, part 1 : The hash function. Since my last post a lot of things have happened in Neo4j. Some of which have made some of the material in this blog outdated. Imagine that! Just half a year later, the kernel crackdown (specifically, the storage layer walkthrough. Is pretty much out of date. How awesome is that? The hash function you say? A selection w...

A technical blog from Chris Gioran - Concurrent Programming, Garbage Collection and Graph Database Technology. Thursday, November 10, 2011. Rooting out redundancy - The new Neo4j Property Store. So, for the last 2 months we've been working diligently, trying to create the 1.5 release of Neo4j. Departing from the old model: A new way to store things. The last 8 bytes where the value stored, enough to accommodate all primitive values, a short string. Byte 0 : 4 high bits of previous, 4 high bits of next po...

A Digital Stain: February 2011

It's been a long time since I presented some thing about the greatest graph database out there. And with good reason. A lot of things happened, the most important of which is that I officially joined the crew behind Neo4j. After helping out with the short strings patch. As always, some ground rules. Or as a raw component. Since Neo4j...

A technical blog from Chris Gioran - Concurrent Programming, Garbage Collection and Graph Database Technology. Thursday, October 4, 2012. Evolution of a cyclist. How can you avoid the unavoidable? I didn't even try. Last week found me at 48x17 bikes. The frame naked, ready to be dressed up by Agis and Yiannis' capable hands. Omnium: check. Funny how you put on the crankset and you are half done. How about that for minimalism? Parts list for the curious:. Tokyo Fixed Gear S1 frame. Phil Wood Track Hubs.
