I'm pretty uninformed on the subject, but I am interested to hear why an adjacency matrix is chosen over an adjacency list when it is sparse. My basic data structures and algorithms class would lead me to believe that an adjacency list would be better. Is this due to the nature of how the database is constructed?

Sparse matricies are represented as a sort of 2d linked list

Glad this was posted on HN because Roi's work is outstanding. I see there is a thread about the license here, you know my position. I think in short that: * It makes sense for MongoDB / Redis Labs to change licenses of what they produce if they want / need. * In the case however of the Redis core, it's BSD, no way it will be changed. But for modules produced by Redis Labs, it's their choice and there is something to…

I had already issues with the GPL v2/3 concept of linking and the fact that the project linking to a GPL license should also be under a compatible license. To turn provisioning, that is just using normal system APIs, into a form of linking is IMHO wrong and no longer open source. I wrote a whole thread on Twitter with the details btw.

Just a warning that this is one of the modules that's licensed under the controversial "Apache 2.0 with Commons Clause" license.

This motivated me to reread the commons clause again. I remain so disappointed in the naming and positioning of it. If you want to sell commercial modules that is totaly fine, but Apache 2 with commons doesn’t jump off the page as an unfree license (which prima facia it is). Should be called the ‘free for personal use’ email us for pricing clause instead.

But this is a totally unfair characterization of the license, so they wouldn't call it this.
