lance-csr

A single-machine, openCypher-compatible graph query engine over Lance datasets, built in Rust on Apache DataFusion with Python bindings. A fork of Lance Graph that adds a compressed sparse row (CSR) adjacency index for multi-hop traversal, falling back to joins for hops the index cannot express.
