Abstract

A method for performing a path finding operation in graph data stored in a database is provided. The method may include receiving, from a client, a request to perform a weighted path operation on at least portion of the graph data. The portion of the graph data may correspond to a graph. The request may specify attributes associated with vertices and/or edges included in the graph. In response to the request, the weighted path operation may be performed by at least identifying a shortest path between two endpoints in the graph. The shortest path may minimize the one or more attributes of vertices and/or edges included in the shortest path. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
