GraphAr: An Efficient Storage Scheme for Graph Data in Data Lakes
Summary: GraphAr is a Parquet-compatible storage layout that captures LPG semantics and reorganizes/encodes vertices, edges, labels and properties to enable graph-native access patterns (neighbor retrieval, label filtering) inside data lakes. It yields massive speedups versus vanilla Parquet/Acero (e.g., 4452× neighbor, 14.8× label filtering, 29.5× end-to-end). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
