Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing queries of a graph database. During operation, the system executes a set of processes for maintaining the graph database storing a graph, wherein the graph includes a set of nodes, a set of edges between pairs of nodes in the set of nodes, and a set of predicates. When a write query of the graph database is received, the system uses one or more of the processes to process the write query by using a schema of the graph database to validate the write query. Next, the system transmits the validated write query to a set of shards containing the graph database. Finally, the system processes the write query at each shard when a shard identifier representing the shard is matched to one or more attributes in the write query.
