Faunus is a distributed analytics engine for processing property graphs with Hadoop. A breadth-first version of the graph traversal language Gremlin operates on a vertex-centric property graph data structure. Faunus provides adaptors to the distributed graph database Titan, any Rexster fronted graph database, and to text and binary graphs stored in HDFS. The provided Gremlin operations and Hadoop graph tools can be extended using MapReduce and Blueprints.

Please use Aurelius’s mailing list for all Faunus related questions. For TinkerPop related discussions, use the Gremlin-Users mailing list. For commercial Faunus support, please contact the graph experts at Aurelius and follow them on Twitter @aureliusgraphs.
