Graphflow: An Active Graph Database

Summary: Graphflow is an active graph DB for continuous subgraph queries, addressing inefficiency in passive systems. It provides Cypher++ (Neo4j-like) with subgraph-condition-action triggers and introduces Generic Join and Delta Generic Join as worst-case-optimal engines for one-time and continuous subgraph queries.
