SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph.

What problem does it solve? Modeling node-to-node relationships, edges, and multi-hop traversal queries in a distributed Orleans system is difficult with standard grain patterns alone. This Skill guides the integration of ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph so graph structures map cleanly onto grain identities, persistence, and activation lifecycles. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Graph Grain Modeling: Maps nodes to grain identities and edges to relationships between grains, with a concrete IGraphGrain interface for adding, removing, and querying edges. - Traversal Implementation: Provides breadth-first multi-hop traversal across grains with bounded depth to prevent runaway grain activations. - Fit Assessment: Helps decide when a graph abstraction is appropriate versus standard relational or hierarchical grain modeling. - Use Case: A social-network backend on Orleans needs friend-of-friend queries. Use this Skill to model users as graph grains, store edges in an Orleans persistence provider, and run bounded-depth traversal against a real cluster. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to integrate ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph into your Orleans application and implement a graph grain with edge management and bounded traversal.

FAQPage Schema
How do I integrate ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph into an Orleans application?▼

Install the package with dotnet add package ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph, then model nodes as grain identities and edges as relationships between grains. Implement a graph grain interface with methods for adding, removing, and querying edges.

How do I implement graph traversal across Orleans grains?▼

Use breadth-first traversal that resolves each node via the grain factory, queries neighbors from grain state, and enqueues them with depth tracking. Always bound the maximum depth to prevent runaway grain activations across the cluster.

When should I use Orleans graph modeling vs standard grain patterns?▼

Use a graph abstraction only when the application has genuine node-to-node relationships, directed or undirected edges, or traversal queries. If the data is tabular or hierarchical, standard Orleans grain patterns are a better fit.

Does Orleans graph traversal work with mock grain factories in unit tests?▼

Mock grain factories alone are not sufficient for validation. Traversal and relationship operations should be tested against a real Orleans cluster, since grain activation lifecycle and persistence behavior affect traversal latency and correctness.

Why do multi-hop graph queries cause performance problems in Orleans?▼

Each hop activates additional grains, so unbounded traversal can trigger runaway activations and high latency. Set a maximum traversal depth and confirm edge state is stored in a properly configured Orleans persistence provider.
