DSE Graph with Java Driver, how to add edges

Question

I want to build a graph completely with the Datastax Java Driver. I managed to insert vertices, but I have no clue how to add edges to existing vertices.

When I run the following code

session.executeGraph("parent = g.V().has('businessId','sys-1').next()");
session.executeGraph("child = g.V().has('businessId','sys-2').next()");
session.executeGraph("parent.addEdge('consistsOf', child)");

I get an exception

Exception in thread "main" com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.InvalidQueryException: No such property: parent for class: Script285

When I run the gremlin statements in the gremlin_console_window it is working fine. So I think variables like parent and child are not working within a Java DseSession ?

Unfortunately, I was not able to find much information about how to work with the Java Driver properly.

Answer 1

It looks like you have to create it within the context of the same script, ie:

DseCluster dseCluster = DseCluster.builder()
            .addContactPoint("127.0.0.1")
            .withGraphOptions(new GraphOptions().setGraphName("demo"))
            .build();
DseSession dseSession = dseCluster.newSession();
SimpleGraphStatement s = new SimpleGraphStatement(
            "def v1 = g.V(id1).next()\n" + 
            "def v2 = g.V(id2).next()\n" +
            "v1.addEdge('relates', v2)");
dseSession.executeGraph(s);

I think the reason for this is that these commands are just interpreted as independent gremlin queries.

I believe this set of documentation may be helpful to you.
