I want to return a node where the node has a property as a specific uuid and I just want to return one of them (there could be several matches).
g.V().where('application_uuid', eq(application_uuid).next()
Would the above query return all the nodes? How do I just return 1?
I also want to get the property map of this node. How would I do this?
You would just do:
g.V().has('application_uuid', application_uuid).next()
but even better would be the signature that includes the vertex label (if you can):
g.V().has('vlabel', 'application_uuid', application_uuid).next()
Perhaps going a bit further if you explicitly need just one you could:
g.V().has('vlabel', 'application_uuid', application_uuid).limit(1).next()
so that both the graph provider and/or Gremlin Server know your intent is to only next() back one result. In that way, you may save some extra network traffic/processing.
This is a very basic query. You should read more about gremlin. I can suggest Practical Gremlin book.
As for your query, you can use has to filter by property, and limit to get specific number of results:
g.V().has('application_uuid', application_uuid).limit(1).next()
Running your query without the limit will also return a single result since the query result is an iterator. Using toList() will return all results in an array.

Using Tinkerpop Gremlin (Neptune DB), is there a preferred/"faster" way to query?
For example, let's say I have a graph containing the node:
label: Student
id: 'student/12345'
studentId: '12345'
name: 'Bob'
Is there a preferred query? (for this example let's say we know the field 'studentId' value, which is also part of the id)
g.V().filter('studentId', '12345')
vs
g.V().filter(hasId(TextP.containing('12345'))
or using "has"/"hasId" vs "filter"?
g.V().has('studentId', '12345')
vs
g.V().hasId(TextP.containing('12345'))
So there seems to be two questions here, one about filter() vs has() and the other about using the vertex id versus a property.
The answer to the first question is going to depend on the underlying database implementation and what is has/has not optimized. In general, and in Neptune, I would suggest using the g.V().has('studentId', '12345') pattern to filter on a property as it is optimized and easier to read.
The answer to the second question also depends on the database implementaiton, as not all allow for setting of the vertex ids. Other databases may vary but in Neptune setting ids is allowed and a direct lookup by ID is the fastest (e.g. g.V('12345') or g.V().hasId('12345')) way to look something up as it is a single index lookup. One thing to note is that in Neptune vertex/edge id values need to be globally unique so you need to ensure that you will only have one vertex or edge with a specific id.
I try to get properties which has key or id in following query by Gremlin.Net, but vertex info(id and label) in VertexProperty is null in result.
g.V().Properties<VertexProperty>().HasKey(somekey).Promise(p => p.ToList())
So i try another way, but it's return class is Path, and i had to write an ugly code for type conversion.
g.V().Properties<VertexProperty>().HasKey(somekey).Path().By(__.ValueMap<object, object>(true))
Is there a better way to achieve this requirement
I think basically the only thing missing to get what you want is the Project() step.
In order to find all vertices that have a certain property key and then get their id, label, and then all information about that property, you can use this traversal:
g.V().
Has(someKey).
Project<object>("vertexId", "vertexLabel", "property").
By(T.Id).
By(T.Label).
By(__.Properties<object>(someKey).ElementMap<object>()).
Promise(t => t.ToList());
This returns a Dictionary where the keys are the arguments given to the Project step.
If you instead want to filter by a certain property id instead of a property key, then you can do it in a very similar way:
g.V().
Where(__.Properties<object>().HasId(propertyId)).
Project<object>("vertexId", "vertexLabel", "property").
By(T.Id).
By(T.Label).
By(__.Properties<object>(someKey).ElementMap<object>()).
Promise(t => t.ToList());
This filters in both cases first the vertices to only have vertices that have the properties we are looking for. That way, we can use the Project() step afterwards to get the desired data back.
ElementMap should give all information back about the properties that you want.
Note however that these traversals will most likely require a full graph scan in JanusGraph, meaning that it has to iterate over all vertices in your graph. The reason is that these traversals cannot use an index which would make them much more efficient. So, for larger graphs, the traversals will probably not be feasible.
If you had the vertex ids available instead of the property ids in the second traversal, then you could make the traversal a lot more efficient by replacing g.V().Where([...]) simply with g.V(id).
I need the result of the first query to pass it as an input parameter to my second query. and also want to know to write multi queries.
In my use case, the second query can be traversed only using the result of the first query and that too using loop(which is similar to for loop)
const query1 =g.V().hasLabel('Province').has('code',market').inE('partOf').outV().has('type',state).values('code').as('state')
After executing query1,the result is
res=[{id1},{id2},........]
query2 = select('state').repeat(has('code',res[0]).inE('partOf').outV().has('type',city).value('name')).times(${res.length-1}).as('city')
I made the assumptions that your first query tries to finds "states by market" where the market is a variable you intend to pass to your query. If that is correct then your first query simplifies to:
g.V().hasLabel('Province').has('code',market).
in('partOf').
has('type','state').values('code')
so, prefer in() to inE().outV() when no filtering on edge properties is needed.
Your second query doesn't look like valid Gremlin, but maybe you were just trying to provide an example of what you wanted to do. You wrote:
select('state').
repeat(has('code',res[0]).
inE('partOf').outV().
has('type',city).value('name')).
times(${res.length-1}).as('city')
and I assume that means you want to use the states found in the first query to find their cities. If that's what you're after you can simplify this to a single query of:
g.V().hasLabel('Province').has('code',market).
in('partOf').has('type','state').
in('partOf').has('type','city').
values('name')
If you need data about the state and the city as part of the result then consider project():
g.V().hasLabel('Province').has('code',market).
in('partOf').has('type','state').
project('state','cities').
by('code').
by(__.in('partOf').has('type','city').
values('name').
fold())
I'm new to Gremlin and still learning.
I'd like to include the starting vertex in the results of the following:
g.V('leafNode').repeat(out()).emit()
This gives me a collection of vertexes starting from an arbitrary leaf node "upwards" to the root vertex. However this collection excludes the V('leafNode') vertex itself.
How do I include the V('leafNode') in this collection?
Thanks

There are two places for the emit in this statement: either before the repeat or after. If it comes before the repeat, it will be performed before evaluating the next loop.
Source: http://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/reference/#repeat-step
So the following should take care of what your request.
g.V('leafNode').emit().repeat(out())
I'm getting weird results while writing a gremlin query. I can happily use the has function for most of the attributes for my nodes, for example "().has('name', 'VerisignCzagExtension').property('id')" will return v5086. But when I attempt to use the has function with the attribute id it never returns true. for example "().has('id', 'v5086').property('id')" returns no results. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.
Internally, Neo4j stores all IDs as java.lang.Long objects. This is a special behavior for id property only. All other properties are stored with their implied data types. That's a reason why has('name', 'VerisignCzagExtension') works (because name property is excluded from this special behavior meant for id). I'm assuming v5086 is being type casted to java.lang.Long, thus losing it's real value. That could explain zero results after a has('id', 'v5086') Gremlin step.
AFAIK, id property is immutable (can't be changed). If you need to make id look ups for vertices using a has Gremlin step, it would look something like has('id', 5086L) assuming that the vertex id is 5086 and is being stored as a java.lang.Long value. An extra L is for explicit java.lang.Long type-casting, Neo4j would assume java.lang.Integer if you don't add that L and your Gremlin step would result in zero results again.
Finally, you might want to call your named ID something else, like a property with key name.
Hope this helps.
