Abstract

We introduce LSQB, a new large-scale subgraph query benchmark. LSQB tests the performance of database management systems on an important class of subgraph queries overlooked by existing benchmarks. Matching a labelled structural graph pattern, referred to as subgraph matching, is the focus of LSQB. In relational terms, the benchmark tests DBMSs' join performance as a choke-point since subgraph matching is equivalent to multi-way joins between base Vertex and base Edge tables on ID attributes. The benchmark focuses on read-heavy workloads by relying on global queries which have been ignored by prior benchmarks. Global queries, also referred to as unseeded queries, are a type of queries that are only constrained by labels on the query vertices and edges. LSQB contains a total of nine queries and leverages the LDBC social network data generator for scalability. The benchmark gained both academic and industrial interest and is used internally by 5+ different vendors.
