Dynamic generation of traversal code for a graph analytics environment

1. A computer-implemented method of dynamically generating traversal code for a graph analytics environment, the method comprising:

in one or more processing systems, identifying a query expression from a relational analytics environment, wherein the query expression is written in a first language for a relational database;

generating the traversal code for the graph analytics environment based on the query expression, wherein the traversal code is written in a second language;

executing the traversal code in the graph analytics environment on a graphical database; and

communicating results of the traversal code to the relational analytics environment, wherein communicating the results of the traversal code to the relational analytics environment comprises communicating the results of the traversal code to the relational analytics environment to update a relational database in the relational analytics environment.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the query expression for the relational analytics environment comprises a Structured Query Language (SQL) expression for the relational analytics environment.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the relational analytics environment comprises a relational database management system (RDBMS).

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the graphical database comprises one or more graph structures generated via the RDBMS.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the one or more graph structures each comprises one or more nodes and edges.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein executing the traversal code in the graph analytics environment on the graphical database comprises executing the traversal code in the graph analytics environment to traverse the one or more graph structures.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the traversal code comprises one of C, C++, Python, C#, or Java.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein identifying the query expression for the relational analytics environment comprises receiving, in the graph analytics environment, the query expression from the relational analytics environment.

9. A computer apparatus to dynamically generate traversal code, the computer apparatus comprising:

processing instructions that direct a computing system, when executed by the

computing system, to: identify a query expression from a relational analytics environment, wherein the query expression is written in a first language for a relational database;

generate traversal code for a graph analytics environment based on the query expression, wherein the traversal code is written in a second language;

execute the traversal code in the graph analytics environment on a graphical database; and

communicate results of the traversal code to the relational analytics environment, wherein communicating the results of the traversal code to the relational analytics environment comprises communicating the results of the traversal code to the relational analytics environment to update a relational database in the relational analytics environment; and

one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media that store the processing instructions.

10. The computer apparatus of claim 9 wherein the query expression for the relational analytics environment comprises a Structured Query Language (SQL) expression for the relational analytics environment.

11. The computer apparatus of claim 10 wherein the relational analytics environment comprises a relational database management system (RDBMS).

12. The computer apparatus of claim 11 wherein the graphical database comprises one or more graph structures generated via the RDBMS.

13. The computer apparatus of claim 12 wherein the one or more graph structures each comprise one or more nodes or edges.

14. The computer apparatus of claim 12 wherein the processing instructions to execute the traversal code in the graph analytics environment on the graphical database direct the computing system to execute the traversal code in the graph analytics environment to traverse the one or more graph structures.

15. The computer apparatus of claim 9 wherein the traversal code comprises one of C, C++, Python, C#, or Java.

16. The computer apparatus of claim 9 wherein the processing instructions to identify the query expression from a relational analytics environment direct the computing system to receive, in the graph analytics environment, the query expression from the relational analytics environment.
