  "summary": "A durable assumption holds that graph analytics requires a purpose-built graph engine, and that relational systems are ill-suited to connected data. We argue the opposite for the workloads enterprises actually run. A columnar relational engine fronted by a graph query language matches or exceeds native graph engines on analytical graph queries, and - decisively - scales past the point where…",
