Strong typed schema

yes

dynamic column types

Typing

predefined data types such as float or date

yes: string, long, double, int, geospatial, stream, events

yes

not rigid because of 'dynamic typing' concept.

XML support

Secondary indexes

yes

secondary, composite, nested, reverse, geospatial

yes

Nebula Graph internally uses the Key-Value store RocksDB for persistency. The vertices, edges, and their properties are stored as Key while their values are stored as Value. The primary indexes are per Key and secondary indexes are per Value.
