Server-side scripts

Stored procedures

user defined functions

asynchronous Gremlin script jobs

PL/SQL

also stored procedures in Java possible

Lua, C and SQL stored procedures

Triggers

yes

yes, before/after data modification events, on replication events, client session events

Partitioning methods

Methods for storing different data on different nodes

Sharding

yes

depending on used storage backend, e.g. Cassandra and HBase

Sharding, horizontal partitioning

horizontal partitioning

Sharding, partitioned with virtual buckets by user defined affinity key. Live resharding for scale up and scale down without maintenance downtime.

Replication methods

Methods for redundantly storing data on multiple nodes

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication

yes

depending on used storage backend, e.g. Cassandra and HBase
