136 Full | Kuzu V0
Kuzu v0.1.36 continues to operate as a single library with no external dependencies. It can be embedded directly into C++, Python, Node.js, or Java applications. This removes the need for Docker containers or separate server processes, drastically lowering the barrier to entry for application developers.
| Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---------|-------------|---------|
| Full‑text index (FTI) for node/relationship properties | Integrated BM25‑based inverted index that can be queried with CONTAINS and MATCH_TEXT. | Enables fast keyword search on textual attributes (e.g., product descriptions, logs). |
| Hybrid storage engine | Combines a row‑store for hot‑spot vertices with a column‑store for bulk edges. | Improves cache locality and reduces memory consumption for dense graphs. |
| Multi‑threaded query execution (up to 64 cores) | Parallelizes both pattern‑matching and aggregation phases automatically. | 2‑3× speed‑up on modern 24‑core CPUs for typical traversals. |
| Python‑native API (kuzu-py) 2.0 | Auto‑generated type hints, context‑manager support, and native pandas.DataFrame conversion. | Seamless integration with data‑science stacks; no manual serialization. |
| Rust bindings 1.5 | Safe, zero‑copy FFI layer with async support. | Lets Rust applications embed Kuzu without an external C‑wrapper. |
| Explain plan visualizer | CLI command kuzu explain <query> outputs a DOT graph that can be rendered with GraphViz. | Makes performance debugging approachable for non‑DBA developers. |
| Bulk‑loader CLI (kuzu import) | Supports CSV, Parquet, and NDJSON with schema inference and optional compression. | Load >100 M edges in under 5 minutes on a 32‑core VM. |
| Improved durability | Optional write‑ahead log (WAL) with snapshotting. The default “in‑memory only” mode remains unchanged. | Gives developers a simple path to persistence without sacrificing speed. |
| Security hardening | TLS‑enabled client‑side sockets (when run in server mode), and sandboxed UDF execution. | Makes Kuzu viable for multi‑tenant environments. | kuzu v0 136 full
TL;DR: v0.13.6 turns Kuzu from a pure “in‑process graph engine” into a full‑featured, production‑ready graph database while preserving its hallmark low‑latency performance. Kuzu v0
Kuzu delivers SQL‑like graph queries with the speed of an in‑memory column store and the flexibility of a native graph engine. It can be embedded directly in a Python or Rust process, so there’s no separate server to manage and no network latency to worry about. TL;DR: v0
