18. Trend No. 5: Graph
…
The application of graph processing and graph DBMSs will grow at 100
percent annually through 2022 to continuously accelerate data
preparation and enable more complex and adaptive data science.
…
Graph analytics will grow in the next few years due to the need to ask
complex questions across complex data, which is not always
practical or even possible at scale using SQL queries.
