graflo.db.nebula.util

NebulaGraph utility functions.

Type mapping, filter rendering, value escaping, and schema-propagation helpers.

escape_nebula_string(value)

Escape a string value for safe embedding in nGQL / GQL literals.

Source code in graflo/db/nebula/util.py

    return value.replace("\\", "\\\\").replace('"', '\\"')

make_vid(doc, match_keys)

Derive a VID string from a document's match-key values.

When a single match key is used the raw value is taken. When multiple keys are present the values are joined with :: so the VID is deterministic and unique for the combination.

Source code in graflo/db/nebula/util.py

nebula_type(ft)

Map a graflo FieldType to the corresponding NebulaGraph type name.

wait_for_schema_propagation(adapter, check_statement, *, max_retries=30, interval=1.0)

Poll check_statement until it succeeds or retries are exhausted.

NebulaGraph propagates schema changes asynchronously across the cluster. After CREATE SPACE / CREATE TAG / CREATE EDGE, subsequent statements may fail until propagation completes (typically within two heartbeat cycles, ~20 s for default settings).
