About Apache Giraph
Apache Giraph is an iterative graph processing system built for high scalability. For example, it is currently used at Facebook to analyze the social graph formed by users and their connections. Giraph originated as the open-source counterpart to Pregel, the graph processing architecture developed at Google and described in a 2010 paper. Both systems are inspired by the Bulk Synchronous Parallel model of distributed computation introduced by Leslie Valiant. Giraph adds several features beyond the basic Pregel model, including master computation, sharded aggregators, edge-oriented input, out-of-core computation, and more. With a steady development cycle and a growing community of users worldwide, Giraph is a natural choice for unleashing the potential of structured datasets at a massive scale. Apache Giraph is an iterative graph processing framework, built on top of Apache Hadoop.

HugeGraph
HugeGraph is a fast-speed and highly-scalable graph database. Billions of vertices and edges can be easily stored into and queried from HugeGraph due to its excellent OLTP ability. As compliance to Apache TinkerPop 3 framework, various complicated graph queries can be accomplished through Gremlin (a powerful graph traversal language). Among its features, it provides compliance to Apache TinkerPop 3, supporting Gremlin. Schema Metadata Management, including VertexLabel, EdgeLabel, PropertyKey and IndexLabel. Multi-type Indexes, supporting exact query, range query and complex conditions combination query. Plug-in Backend Store Driver Framework, supporting RocksDB, Cassandra, ScyllaDB, HBase and MySQL now and easy to add other backend store driver if needed. Integration with Hadoop/Spark. HugeGraph relies on the TinkerPop framework, we refer to the storage structure of Titan and the schema definition of DataStax.

Apache TinkerPop
Apache TinkerPop™ is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). Gremlin is the graph traversal language of Apache TinkerPop. Gremlin is a functional, data-flow language that enables users to succinctly express complex traversals on (or queries of) their application's property graph. Every Gremlin traversal is composed of a sequence of (potentially nested) steps. A graph is a structure composed of vertices and edges. Both vertices and edges can have an arbitrary number of key/value pairs called properties. Vertices denote discrete objects such as a person, a place, or an event. Edges denote relationships between vertices. For instance, a person may know another person, have been involved in an event, and/or have recently been at a particular place. If a user's domain is composed of a heterogeneous set of objects (vertices) that can be related to one another in a multitude of ways (edges).

JanusGraph
JanusGraph is a scalable graph database optimized for storing and querying graphs containing hundreds of billions of vertices and edges distributed across a multi-machine cluster. JanusGraph is a project under The Linux Foundation, and includes participants from Expero, Google, GRAKN.AI, Hortonworks, IBM and Amazon. Elastic and linear scalability for a growing data and user base. Data distribution and replication for performance and fault tolerance. Multi-datacenter high availability and hot backups. All functionality is totally free. No need to buy commercial licenses. JanusGraph is fully open source under the Apache 2 license. JanusGraph is a transactional database that can support thousands of concurrent users executing complex graph traversals in real time. Support for ACID and eventual consistency. In addition to online transactional processing (OLTP), JanusGraph supports global graph analytics (OLAP) with its Apache Spark integration.
