Source code for the Neo4j Graph Data Science library of graph algorithms.

Neo4j Graph Data Science

This repository hosts the open sources of the Neo4j Graph Data Science (GDS) library. The GDS library is a plugin for the Neo4j graph database. The library consists of a number of graph algorithms, exposed as procedures and executed in Neo4j.

The Neo4j Graph Data Science library is the successor of the Neo4j Graph Algorithms library.

Downloading and installing releases

The latest releases of Neo4j GDS can always be found at the Neo4j Graph Data Science Download Page. To install the plugin in Neo4j place the downloaded JAR file it in the plugins directory of your Neo4j database and restart the database. For further instructions, see our documentation.

If you are using Neo4j Desktop you can simply add the Graph Data Science library on the plugins page of your project.

OpenGDS

The Neo4j Graph Data Science library as built and distributed by Neo4j includes the sources in this repository as well a suite of closed sources. Neo4j GDS is available to download and use under the constraints of its license.

However, the sources in this repository can be also be assembled into a fully functioning library, which we call OpenGDS. OpenGDS is available to build, use, and extend under the constraints of the GNU Public License version 3.0.

Developing with OpenGDS

OpenGDS is also available on Maven Central. If you want to include the OpenGDS in your own project you can simply add it as a dependency.

For the most basic set of features, like graph loading and the graph representation, you need to include the core module:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
  <artifactId>core</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

The algorithms are located in the algo-common, algo and alpha-algo modules:

<!-- Contains the basic algorithm infrastructure -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
  <artifactId>algo-common</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Contains the productized algorithms -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
  <artifactId>algo</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Contains the alpha algorithms -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
    <artifactId>alpha-algo</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

The procedures are located in the proc-common, proc and alpha-proc modules:

<!-- Contains the basic procedure infrastructure -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
  <artifactId>proc-common</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Contains the productized algorithm procedures -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
  <artifactId>proc</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Contains the alpha algorithm procedures-->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
    <artifactId>alpha-proc</artifactId>
    <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Required by the Write procedures, this artifact is responsible for providing the various exporters -->
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.neo4j.gds</groupId>
  <artifactId>write-services</artifactId>
  <version>1.8.3</version>
</dependency>

Building the library

Installing JDKs

Install SKDMAN

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "$HOME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"

Install both JDK 11 and JDK 17 Temurin:

sdk install java 11.0.13-tem
sdk install java 17.0.1-tem

Note	These versions were the latest at the time of writing these notes. To see a list of the available versions you can run sdk list java.

Note	You do not need to set them as default JDK

If you want to opt out of Temurin, you can override javaLanguageVendor and javaLanguageVersion in your project-local gradle.properties. List of Gradle supported language vendors

Note	The javaLanguageVendor and javaLanguageVersion overrides have to be installed locally on your system.

OpenGDS uses the build tool Gradle. Gradle is shipped with this repository using the Gradle Wrapper. This means you can simply run any Gradle task by running ./gradlew TASK from the repository root.

Running tests

To run all tests you can simply run ./gradlew check

Packaging the library

To package the library you can run ./gradlew :open-packaging:shadowCopy. This will create a bundled JAR called open-gds-VERSION.jar in the directory build/distributions/. To use the bundled JAR in Neo4j, place the JAR file in the plugins directory of your Neo4j database and restart the database. For further instructions, see our documentation.
