Abstract

Due to the wide applications, subgraph queries have attracted lots of attentions in database community. In this paper, we focus on subgraph queries over a large graph G. Different from existing feature-based approaches, we propose a bitmap structure based on edges to index the graph. At run time, we decompose Q into a set of adjacent edge pairs (AEP). We develop edge join (EJ) algorithms to address AEP subqueries. The bitmap index can reduce both I/O and CPU cost. More importantly, the bitmap index has the linear space complexity instead of the exponential complexity in feature-based approaches, which confirms its good scalability. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms existing ones in both online and offline performances significantly.
