What is in this repository?

This repository contains Studio Notebooks, data, and loading scripts to follow the examples within Chapters 3 through 12 in The Practitioners Guide to Graph Data . The content is organized as follows:

  1. notebooks/: All DataStax Studio Notebooks for Chapters 3 through 12. These can be uploaded into DataStax Studio via the Studio Import Tool. (Directions below)
  2. data/ch_x: The data directory contains a folder per chapter. Within each folder, you will find the data and loading scripts to insert the data into DataStax Graph 6.8 via DataStax Bulk Loader.

The directions below detail how to get started.

    1. Import each chapter notebook into DataStax Studio
    2. Create each graph and graph's schema via the chapter's notebook
    3. Update the DEFAULT_DSBULK_PATH within each chapter's loading file. (All loading scripts are located in data/ch_x/ch_x_load.sh)
    4. Run the data/load_all.sh script to load all data into each graph.
