String Interning at FalkorDB

String Interning in Graph Databases: Save Memory, Boost Performance

One of the lesser-known challenges is the memory consumed by storing identical string values over and over again. Think of common attributes like “city,” “category,” or “status” that might appear on thousands, or even millions, of nodes and edges. A powerful solution to this problem is string interning.
