graphity-evaluation. Graphity is a graph data base index (currently based on @neo4j) that supports fast retrieval of social news stream like twitter / facebook. Its runtime depends only linear on the amount of retrieved items. It thus scales! This repo contains the source code of graphity together with an evaluation frame work against several baselines.
