The Graph Foundation for Global Internet-Scale Applications
- Multi-DC awareness allows Causal Clusters to more conveniently span data centers
- Tiered replicas boost performance by keeping local replica traffic local
- Topology-aware stack insulates developers and apps from complexities of clustering
- Improved cloud delivery via RPM, Azure and AWS EC2
- Causal Clustering available on CAPI Flash hardware from IBM Power Systems
Enterprise Governance
- Node Keys: new schema constraints enforce existence and uniqueness across one or more node properties
- Kerberos option: for secure encrypted-authentication
- Rich query monitoring: new metrics allow users and admins to better understand the behavior of running queries, with added information about locks and resource consumption
Native Graph Performance Improvements
- Native label index improves write speed by 30-300%
- Composite indexes supercharge exact lookups with multiple-property support
- Reachability queries: Cypher’s depth query in
DISTINCT
function eliminates repetitious traversals through deep levels, improving performance up to orders of magnitude - New compiled Cypher runtime in Enterprise Edition to speed common queries by 300%
- Snappier Neo4j Browser with new, more flexible JavaScript framework
New Cypher Editor in Neo4j Browser
- Syntax highlighting
- Auto-complete for labels, relationship types, properties and variables
- Command auto-complete
New in Neo4j 3.2
Indexing
- Composite indexes supercharge lookup speeds
- Native label index improves write speeds by 30-300%
Cypher Query Language
- Depth query function
DISTINCT
improves “reachability” by no longer treading nodes it already knows - Cost-based query optimizer now automatically invoked
Neo4j Browser Rewritten
- Improved performance and flexibility via new JavaScript framework
Driver Pack 1.3
- Transaction handling in Bolt driver library moved to driver
- Cluster management and routing decisions moved to driver
Deployment Tools
- RPM Packages available
- Cloud delivery via Microsoft Azure and AWS EC2
New in Neo4j 3.2 Enterprise Edition
Built to deploy large-scale, mission-critical graph apps over the Internet
Multi-Data Center Support
- Improves horizontal scaling and fault tolerance for global applications
- Adds hierarchical subclusters to speed replication processes while minimizing WAN traversals
Causal Clustering API
- Bolt drivers control transactionality and preferred server for reads and writes across each cluster and data centers
Compiled Cypher Runtime
- Common and repetitive queries can be compiled to dramatically improve performance
Node Keys
- Impose schema constraints onto graph models for existence or data validation
Query Monitoring
- API adds many new query metrics
Kerberos Encryption
- Add-on module offers enterprise-caliber authentication
Clustering on CAPI Flash
- Add-on support for IBM POWER8 systems
