Thanks for the analysis, @michaelcompton. That’s pretty informed.
Yeah, I think XIDs don’t fit into our architecture – we’re not really a triple store, we just chose to use the RDF format for data input. Over time, that might evolve into a more JSON-y way to import data, if that’s easier for developers.
We can bake XID support into our client; so RDFs can still be imported into Dgraph – sounds like that should be sufficient for now.
I know that’s what Neo4j website says, but are they really? I think it’s more like replicas holding entire DB copies. Vertical scaling, not horizontal.
