Abstract
I would like to share my opinions on the following question: how should a modern graph DBMS (GDBMS) be architected? This is the motivating research question we are addressing in the K`uzu project at University of Waterloo [4, 5].1 I will argue that a modern GDBMS should optimize for a set of what I will call, for lack of a better term, "beyond relational" workloads. As a background, let me start with a brief overview of GDBMSs.
