GraphGrid Search Tutorial

GraphGrid Search leverages Elasticsearch (ES), a database for text storage and analytics engine. Search acts like a wrapper around ES. This allows Search to send and store graph data into ES. This also means that graph data will have all the advantages of ES searching features.

Here are some key terms to know before jumping in:

  • Indexing: The process of putting data into ES so it becomes searchable.
  • Searching: The process of retrieving data from ES through a query.
  • ES Index: Logical namespce which holds documents (text data).
  • ES Document: Searchable unit containing properties.

If we think about these ES features in terms of graph, ES index is akin to an ONgDB node label, and the ES document is akin to a ONgDB node.

Search Module Tutorial Overview

  1. Decide what we want to make searchable
    • This step informs us how to use and design indexing/search queries.
  2. Indexing
    • Generate and customize an index policy.
    • Index nodes on the graph
    • Event-driven indexing (Continuous Indexing).
  3. Search Queries
    • Simple Query and Advanced Query
    • Search Showme

We will be using the Movie Graph as our dataset. The Movie Graph is a built-in dataset example in ONgDB. If you haven't already done the Movie Database tutorial, run the query below and follow the instructions through step two to add the movie data to your graph. If you want to get the full benefit of this tutorial by working with the Dashboard, complete the Movie Database tutorial before proceeding.

Design

The first step is to come up with features for Search. We can use these features to design an index policy. Before creating an index policy, we may ask:

  • What do we want to search?
  • What is the intended use?
  • Who is the intended user?
  • Where is this search response going?

Movies Search Desired features:

Feature 1: Person and Movie nodes should be searchable by their node properties. Feature 2: Searching the title of a movie ("matrix") should return the movie(s) along with all associated people (actors/directors)

After coming up with our desired features, we can design our index policy with specific features in mind.

Indexing

The purpose of indexing is to transform graph data into searchable text. The goal is to move information from ONgDB to ES. The index policy tells the module how to move that data. We achieve this operationally by using indexing endpoints and/or Continuous Indexing (CI .

Intro to Index Policy

The index policy is a JSON document that defines WHAT info in ONgDB to index and HOW to get that info. Core sections of the policy define schema (mapping) from a node to an ES document. Index policies follow a predefined structure (with the contents remaining specific to the graph), therefore these definitions can be applied to any graph.

For instance, the Search module is capabale of generating an index policy using all of our existing graph data. We can modify the index policy to maintain additional features such as: leveraging custom Geequel queries, defining index settings, creating static filters, and setting granular view requirements (role-based visibility).

Generated Index Policy

Generated index policies provide out-of-the-box searching for node properties. This feature generates a separate index for each desired node label, and creates a template that the user can customize. Generated index policies provide basic search functionality. One of these functions is the ability to search for a node's properties. By default, the generated policies define common properties to be indexed. You can generate a policy for all node labels or for a specific subset. When generating the index policy, Search assumes that data on the graph has consistent property typing.

Movie Database: Generate Custom Index Policy

Let's revisit Feature 1: Make Person and Movie nodes searchable by their node properties. From what we know about generated index policies, we can set the policy schema for specific node labels and their properties. We can meet feature 1 by generating an index policy specifically for Person and Movie node labels.

note

Before running the generateIndexPolicy endpoint the nodes and relationships are required to already be on the graph.

/generateCustomIndexPolicy/

curl --location --request POST "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/generateCustomIndexPolicy/default-search-index-policy" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}" \
--data-raw '{
"nodeTypes" : [
"Movie",
"Person"
]
}'

The response is the generated index policy. Click here to view the whole policy.

/saveIndexPolicy

Next we need to save the policy.

curl --location --request POST "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/saveIndexPolicy/default-search-index-policy" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}" \

Using the Index Policy

With an index policy now saved, we can operationally index our data. An index policy by itself does nothing (it is just a file). You can think of the index policy like a set of instructions on how to index your data. Search and ES work together to follow those instructions after you (the user) tell them when to operate. There are two methods to invoke indexing: manually through indexing endpoints, or set up of event-driven indexing (Continuous Indexing).

Indexing Endpoint Options

In this first example to meet feature #1, we will index our movie data manually using indexing endpoints. Search uses broker-based indexing with the default broker RabbitMQ. Failed indexing messages are sent to a failure queue in the broker so there is no data loss.

There are two manual indexing options: full indexing and partial "catch-up" indexing. Full indexing uses the brokerIndexPolicyFull endpoint (shown below) to index all nodes. This endpoint can also be used to reindex all nodes. The second option, partial indexing uses the brokerIndexPolicyPartial endpoint. Partial indexing is also known as "catch-up" indexing because it only indexes nodes that are stale.

/brokerIndexPolicyFull/

Using our generated index policy let's manually index our data by using the brokerIndexPolicyFull endpoint. This will index all nodes on our graph.

curl --location --request POST "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/brokerIndexPolicyFull/default-search-index-policy/defaultBroker" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Recap: Implementing Feature 1

Here's what we have done so far:

  • We generated an index policy using generateCustomIndexPolicy
  • Then we saved that policy with saveIndexPolicy
  • Last we indexed our data with brokerIndexPolicyFull

Searching

Our data is now searchable within our project! Try it out in the search bar. Searching for 'Keanu Reeves' will yield the result of 1 Person node with data belonging to Keanu Reeves.

Click the arrow next to 'Keanu Reeves' to view the node properties.

Screenshot

Searching is also possible through the searchAll endpoint. The term parameter(s) must be HTML URL encoded (resource).

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22keanu%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Try searching some movies and people on your own!

Examples to try:

Search "keanu" OR "wach"

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22keanu%20OR%20wach*%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Search "matrix"

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22matrix%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

By searching for a Person or Movie node with either method we can observe that feature #1 has been met.

Index Policy Customization

GraphGrid Search index policies are highly customizable, giving fine-grained control over what gets indexed. Search leverages Geequel queries inside the index policy to retrieve targeted information about your data. Geequel queries in the index policy should be written from the perspective of the node being indexed, or the "anchor node".

Customizing the Index Policy

To implement feature #2 we need to update the index policy so that searching the title of a movie should return the movie(s) along with all associated people (actors/directors). We can do this by including a list of movies each person is associated with under the Person index. This can be done by adding two custom index schema properties.

We need to add two schema properties under the Person index. Since we want to return information based on movies that each person is associated with we can name the two schema properties actedIn and directed. The custom Geequel tells Search to look for specific relationships between a Person and Movie node.

actedIn looks for an optional match of a relationship ACTED_IN between a Person and Movie node, and then collects that Movie node's property "title".

The Geequel query in directed functions similarly but instead of looking for the ACTED_IN relationship, it looks for the relationship DIRECTED between a Person and Movie node.

The results of these custom Geequel queries are then indexed. This is an example of the two custom schema actedIn and directed that will be added under the Personindex:

 "schema": {
"actedIn": {
"schema": {
"generatorStrategies": {
"defaultBroker": "OPTIONAL MATCH (person)-[:ACTED_IN]->(m:Movie) WITH COLLECT(m.title)"
}
},
"searchQuery": {},
"viewRequirements": {}
},
"directed": {
"schema": {
"generatorStrategies": {
"defaultBroker": "OPTIONAL MATCH (person)-[:DIRECTED]->(m:Movie) WITH COLLECT(m.title)"
}
},
"searchQuery": {},
"viewRequirements": {}
},

We can update our index policy by finds the Person index and replacing the "schema" property contents with the additions above.

Reindex to Update Search results

Next we need to reindex our data using the brokerIndexFull request that will reindex all of our nodes:

curl --location --request POST "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/brokerIndexFull/default-search-index-policy/person/defaultBroker" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Searching After Reindexing

Now test it out to find that feature 2 has been met! In the dashboard, search "Keanu Reeves." Search returns the directed and actedin properties associated with Keanu.

Try searching a movie, you'll see that Search returns a list of people associated with the movie along with its usual results.

Requests to Try:

Simple "Keanu" Search

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22keanu%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Simple "Matrix" Search

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22matrix%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Simple "Matrix" Search (Returns Movies Only)

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22%3A%20%22matrix%22%2C%20%22indexes%22%3A%20%5B%22movie%22%5D%20%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Simple "Directors of Matrix" Search

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22directed:matrix%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Recap: Implementing Feature 2

To implement feature 2 we:

  • implemented actedIn and directed properties in the Person index using custom Geequel queries.
  • save our index policy changes with the saveIndexPolicy endpoint.
  • reindexed our data with the brokerIndexPolicyFull endpoint.

Continuous Indexing

Search's Continuous Indexing (CI) pipeline is capable of event-driven indexing for nodes that are added to the graph. For more information about how continuous indexing works, head here.

Continuous Indexing requires a message broker. In our example we're using the default broker of RabbitMQ.

CI Case Study Example

Before setting up CI, try updating Keanu's birth year in ONgDB. In the query bar of ONgDB (localhost:7474) run this query to update Keanu's birthday:

MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Keanu Reeves'})
SET p.born = 1500
RETURN p

After aging Keanu over 500 years, try searching for him.

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22keanu%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"
   {
...,
"data": {
"person": {
"documentCount": 1,
"documentData": [
...
"caption": "Keanu Reeves",
"source": {
"createdAt": "2021-10-28T15:30:27+00:00",
"directed": [],
"grn": "grn:gg:person:ubk3MOs7qBsbqQMVyxGegjmUVtODCzBgwIqFLXkYpecT",
"lastSearchIndexedAt": "2021-10-28T17:59:52+00:00",
"born": 1964,
"name": "Keanu Reeves",
"actedIn": [
"The Devil's Advocate",
"The Matrix Revolutions",
"The Matrix",
"The Matrix Reloaded",
"Johnny Mnemonic",
"The Replacements",
"Something's Gotta Give"
],
"updatedAt": "2021-10-28T15:30:27+00:00"
}
}
]
}
}

You'll see that the updated year isn't there! Even though we updated Keanu's node our search results still say he is born in 1964. Our search index is out of sync with our graph data!

Now let's apply the CI trigger:

curl --location --request POST "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/rabbitmqContinuousIndexingTrigger/default-search-index-policy/defaultBroker" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}"

Remember that with CI, only new or updated data on the graph becomes immediately searchable. This means we need to update Keanu's birth year again for this example to work.

Run this Geequel query in ONgDB to update Keanu's birth year:

MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Keanu Reeves'})
SET p.born = 2000

Then search Keanu again:

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22terms%22:%22keanu%22%7D" \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Notes on Continuous Indexing Use

To check that Continuous Indexing is running use this Geequel query in ONgDB:

CALL apoc.trigger.list

This will return a list of all the apoc triggers that are running. You should see the name of the index policy with continuousIndexing hyphenated at the end of it.

To remove the indexing trigger run:

CALL apoc.trigger.remove("<trigger_name>")

Searching

In this section of the tutorial we will go over some information about searching to help you get the most out of Search.

Types of Search Module Queries

  • Simple Query - Search using a query string (default)
    • Entire query contained by single string
    • Supports basic filtering, paging, fuzziness, and suggester features
    • Great for throwaway queries
    • "Simple" does not necessarily mean easy
  • Advanced Query - Elasticsearch Query DSL
    • Exposes subset of ES query language
    • Full Search Module functionality
    • Supports full sorting, filtering, paging, fuzziness, collapse and suggester features
  • Search Showmes - Named parameterized search

Throughout this tutorial we have been using simple queries. Here is an example of an advanced query that uses parameterized search to return a list of movies that came out in the 90's sorted from earliest to latest:

Decoded Query Parameters: {"query": {"queryType": "range", "property": "released", "gte": "1990", "lt": "2000"}, "sort": [{"sortType": "field", "property": "released"} ] }

curl --location --request GET "${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/default-search-index-policy/?query=%7B%22query%22%3A%20%7B%22queryType%22%3A%20%22range%22%2C%20%22property%22%3A%20%22released%22%2C%20%22gte%22%3A%20%221990%22%2C%20%22lt%22%3A%20%222000%22%7D%2C%20%22sort%22%3A%20%5B%7B%22sortType%22%3A%20%22field%22%2C%20%22property%22%3A%20%22released%22%7D%20%5D%20%7D&mode=ADVANCED" \

Search indices are stored in Elasticsearch. Possible reasons for re-indexing could be duplicate search indices showing up in the search results.

To view all indices stored in Elasticsearch run the following command:

curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v"

The response should look something like this:

(base) vannawinland@MBP-7GMD6T graphgrid-ai-light-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT 2 % curl -XGET "localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v"

To delete a specific index from Elasticsearch, run the following request: curl -XDELETE "localhost:9200/{{name_of_index_to_be_deleted}}"

For example, if you wanted to delete all the person indices:

curl -XDELETE "localhost:9200/person"

You can then re-index by running the broker index partial request:

curl --location '${API_BASE}/1.0/search/default/brokerIndexListPartial/default-search-index-policy/defaultBroker' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ${BEARER_TOKEN}' \
--data '{
"indexes": [
"person"
]
}'
