Nav-Index: A High-Performance, Adaptive Index for Shortest Path Queries in RDBMS
Summary: Nav-Index embeds adaptive shortest-path processing in an RDBMS, switching among Dijkstra, ad-hoc contraction hierarchies, and indexed CHs for static graphs. Integrated with SQL optimization and parallel execution, it delivers millisecond, planet-scale queries. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
