Release Notes:

Ultipa Grid, the 4th generation of Ultipa Graph System, keeps creating miracles in the industry last past year by constantly surpassing its older versions. 2022 is a very productive year for Ultipa, after long time of technological accumulation, Ultipa has completed its Product Matrix, which in essence covers various comprehensive tool chains to do everything with and about Ultipa Graph. This includes several mandatory steps in a workflow starting from deploying an Ultipa sever either on premise or in the public cloud, migrating data from different types of data sources in diversified data structures, invoking graph queries and graph management via different user interfaces (CLI, Manager, SDKs, etc.), as well as some extensional applications of Ultipa server.

This Engine v4.x adopts a Demi-Schema mechanism that offers ultimate flexibility in terms of how data modeling and processing is done. Users can go either schema-strict during graph modeling and graph query, which offers superior data processing speed particularly when handling convoluted and heterogeneous types of entities and relations, or schema-free that is super flexible when working with complex graph datasets.

The Completed Functionality of UQL fully covers the features of DDL, DML, DQL and DCL, realized by employing commands of graph modelling, CRUD of metadata, indexes, tasks, users and privileges, queries on path, subgraph. The processing of query results is facilitated with a rich collection of functions and clauses in combination of alias mechanism, which allows those advanced high-dimensional data structures to be operated and returned.

The Plug-n-Play Algorithm feature has been upgraded to a new level by empowering users to not only install and update standard algorithms without system reboot – this is especially useful for enterprise setup, comparable to changing wheels while the training is fast rolling forward – but also extend the analysis capabilities of Ultipa Grid through docking one’s own graph algorithm with an Ultipa engine, which is a mission impossible until the launch of EXTA.

A highlight should be spotted on one product among all that have been published in the high-productivity fiscal year, the web application, Ultipa Cloud, a graph database as a service with which an Ultipa instance can be started in just a few minutes. Choose either a low-cost configuration of server if you are an individual user who wants to learn about graph, or an enterprise ready for a brand-new business experience brought by graph technology, or elect a server configuration competent for your business profile. It is always paid as you go!

With its last update in 2023-Q1, Ultipa Grid has boasted a variety of new features and optimizations to enhance its performance and robustness, including lower memory cost, more efficient K-Hop and Shortest Path calculations, an advanced query optimizer, and the HTAP & Grid (Name Sever) architecture, making it easier and more efficient for users to manage and analyze their business in large graph datasets.

v3 Ultipa HTAP

• Ultipa Transporter v3.x
• Ultipa CLI v3.0
• SDKs (JAVA/Python/Golang/Nodejs/C++)

Optimizations:

• Greater HDPC engine performance
• Reduced memory usage
• 90 * 24 high TPS writing and computing of 24x7 guaranteed stability & data consistency

Release Notes:

Ultipa HTAP, the third generation of Ultipa Graph System, has been continuously publishing new versions for the whole 2021, bringing with it a range of new features and optimizations. After iterations with v3.1, v3.2, and v3.3, the system now is a veritable High Availability Server Cluster ensuring maximized uptime and reliability. An outstanding breakthrough of this 3rd generation engine is its balance between transaction and analysis, the so called HTAP (Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing) feature that enables real-time processing of both transactional and analytical workloads.

With the feature of HTAP, these v3.x releases allow for custom TP and AP Rules Settings, tailoring the system to specific needs. Functionality of graph algorithm also come with significant updates, not only can each graph algorithm be Installed and Hot Plugged, making it easier to customize based on user needs and hardware adequacy, but the execution of any graph algorithm can now be selected between Real-time Process and Background Task to adapt to different computational loads of the algorithms.

Introducing indexes is another key improvement of these v3.x releases. The traditional techniques of index tree and revert index in full-text search scenario are employed to augment the filtering efficiency against metadata properties, by storing index trees of the target property values in the server disk. But since Memory is the Next Generation of Storage, these v3.x releases adopt the Engine Index that manipulate a copy of metadata properties by invoking commands LTE/UFE (Load To Engine/Unload From Engine), which greatly reduce I/O cost hence speeds up path query.

With a bunch of original products upgraded and adapted to the current engine version, such as Ultipa Manager v3.x and Ultipa CLI v3.x, new members are also introduced into the SDK family, developer using JAVA, Python, Golang, Nodejs, and C++ now can easily connect and manipulate an Ultipa Graph System in their projects or applications.

Ultipa HTAP has been optimized for performance and stability, with improvements to HDC engine performance and reduced memory usage. It now guarantees 90 * 24 high TPS writing and computing, ensuring maximum stability and reliability. It is well-suited for a wide range of use cases in data science, analytics, and research. With its advanced features and optimizations, it delivers unprecedented performance, scalability, and reliability.
