HugeGraph supports the parent-child edge feature, meaning that an Edgelabel can have a subordinate type. Using the bank transfer graph as an example, transfers may include person-to-person transfers (person-to-person), person-to-company transfers (person-to-company), and company-to-company transfers (company-to-company). These three different types of transfers share a common operation, transfer.
In actual business scenarios, it is often necessary to retrieve all transfer edges with a single query. Currently, competitors can only manually split the transfer edge types, perform multiple queries, and then aggregate the results. With HugeGraph's parent-child edge feature, it is possible to query the corresponding person-to-person transfers, person-to-company transfers, and other sub-edge types, and also conveniently and efficiently retrieve all transfer-related edges at once.
PS: The parent-child edge feature for the cassandra and scylladb backends has been temporarily disabled through the store feature.
