LiveGraph: A Transactional Graph Storage System with Purely Sequential Adjacency List Scans

Summary: LiveGraph unifies transactional updates and real-time graph analytics by guaranteeing purely sequential adjacency-list scans despite concurrency. Its graph-aware Transactional Edge Log and layout-aware concurrency control deliver strong locality and outperform specialized transactional and analytical systems.
