Whether to allow the local and storage-backend-hosted copies of the configuration to contain conflicting values for options with any of the following types: FIXED, GLOBAL_OFFLINE, GLOBAL. These types are managed globally through the storage backend and cannot be overridden by changing the local configuration. This type of conflict usually indicates misconfiguration. When this option is true, JanusGraph will log these option conflicts, but continue normal operation using the storage-backend-hosted value for each conflicted option. When this option is false, JanusGraph will log these option conflicts, but then it will throw an exception, refusing to start.

graph.timestamps

The timestamp resolution to use when writing to storage and indices. Sets the time granularity for the entire graph cluster. To avoid potential inaccuracies, the configured time resolution should match those of the backend systems. Some JanusGraph storage backends declare a preferred timestamp resolution that reflects design constraints in the underlying service. When the backend provides a preferred default, and when this setting is not explicitly declared in the config file, the backend default is used and the general default associated with this setting is ignored. An explicit declaration of this setting overrides both the general and backend-specific defaults.

FIXED

storage.cql.use-external-locking

True to prevent JanusGraph from using its own locking mechanism. Setting this to true eliminates redundant checks when using an external locking mechanism outside of JanusGraph. Be aware that when use-external-locking is set to true, that failure to employ a locking algorithm which locks all columns that participate in a transaction upfront and unlocks them when the transaction ends, will result in a read uncommitted transaction isolation level guarantee. If set to true without an appropriate external locking mechanism in place side effects such as dirty/non-repeatable/phantom reads should be expected.

storage.hbase.compat-class

The package and class name of the HBaseCompat implementation. HBaseCompat masks version-specific HBase API differences.

Setting this option forces JanusGraph to instead reflectively load and instantiate the specified class.

String

true

FIXED

storage.hbase.skip-schema-check

Assume that JanusGraph’s HBase table and column families already exist. When this is true, JanusGraph will not check for the existence of its table/CFs, nor will it attempt to create them under any circumstances. This is useful when running JanusGraph without HBase admin privileges.

storage.lock.clean-expired

Whether to delete expired locks from the storage backend

Boolean

false

MASKABLE

storage.lock.expiry-time

Number of milliseconds after which a lock is considered to have expired. Lock applications that were not released are considered expired after this time and released. This value should be larger than the maximum time a transaction can take in order to guarantee that no correctly held applications are expired pre-maturely and as small as possible to avoid dead lock.

Duration

300000 ms

GLOBAL_OFFLINE

storage.lock.local-mediator-group

This option determines the LocalLockMediator instance used for early detection of lock contention between concurrent JanusGraph graph instances within the same process which are connected to the same storage backend. JanusGraph instances that have the same value for this variable will attempt to discover lock contention among themselves in memory before proceeding with the general-case distributed locking code. JanusGraph generates an appropriate default value for this option at startup. Overridding the default is generally only useful in testing.

String

storage.lock.retries

Number of times the system attempts to acquire a lock before giving up and throwing an exception

Integer

3

storage.lock.wait-time

Number of milliseconds the system waits for a lock application to be acknowledged by the storage backend. Also, the time waited at the end of all lock applications before verifying that the applications were successful. This value should be a small multiple of the average consistent write time.
