Installing DSE Graph Loader
Install DSE Graph Loader using a binary tarball on any Linux-based platform.
DSE Graph Loader is not included as part of DataStax Enterprise (DSE) installations. Use these instructions for installing on Linux-based platforms using the binary tarball.
Prerequisites
- A sufficiently powerful machine should be used to run DSE Graph Loader. The
memory requirements must account for caching the serialized vertices during the
loading process, up to ten times (10X) the size of the original data. Ensure
that enough shared memory (mmap, or buffer cache) is allocated; properties and
edges are bound by the speed of the available I/O. The network connection
between the DSE Graph Loader machine and the DSE Graph cluster must have
sufficient bandwidth.Note: Do not run DSE Graph Loader on a machine that hosts a DSE Graph node for larger scale datasets.
- DataStax Enterprise is installed and configured for DSE Graph.
