NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

We've had some early successes with DataStax Enterprise Graph (DSE Graph) for handling large graph databases. Built on top of Cassandra, DSE Graph targets the type of large data sets where our longtime favorite Neo4j begins to show some limitations. This scale has its trade-offs; for example, you lose the ACID transactions and run-time schema-free nature of Neo4j, but access to the underlying Cassandra tables, the integration of Spark for analytical workloads, and the powerful TinkerPop/Gremlin query language make this an option worth considering.
