RapidMatch: A Holistic Approach to Subgraph Query Processing

Summary: RapidMatch: a holistic subgraph query processor that unifies exploration-based and join-based methods, bridging their regimes. Relational operators plus graph-aware filtering guide join-plan generation, delivering state-of-the-art performance across workloads and proving that exploration-based enumeration matches the worst-case optimal join.
