Changing the Size of a Graph

Change the size of a graph to meet your storage, compute, and service needs.

• Currently, the size of Ten-thousand-edge and Ten-billion-edge graphs cannot be changed.
• After the size change, you need to re-create all indexes, including composite and full-text indexes.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Log in to the GES management console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Graph Management.
2. On the displayed page, locate the row containing the graph for which you want to resize, click More in the Operation column, and select Change Size from the drop-down list.

3. In the displayed dialog box, select the target graph size.
   

   • The size of the graph cannot be changed to its current size. You can only reduce the size of a graph by one level, but you can increase it across levels.

     For example, a Ten-million-edge graph can only be downsized to a Million-edge graph, and a Million-edge graph can be upsized to a Ten-million-edge graph or a graph with more edges.

   • When CPU Architecture is X86, you can change the size to Billion-edge-pro.

4. Click OK. The graph status changes to Preparing to change size. After a few minutes, the graph status changes to Changing size. Once the size is successfully changed, the graph status changes to Running.

   Note: While changing the size, the graph is in read-only state, and any write attempts will fail.
