documentation: "# Docker Image for Titan Graph Database\n\nTitan is a free, open source
  database that is capable of processing\nextremely large graphs and it supports a
  variety of indexing and storage backends,\nwhich makes it easier to extend than
  some popular NoSQL Graph databases.\n\nThis docker image instantiates a Titan graph
  database that is capable of\nintegrating with an ElasticSearch container (Indexing)
  and a Cassandra container (Storage).\n\nThe default distribution of Titan runs on
  a single node, so I thought it would be helpful\nif there was a modular way at runtime
  to hook up Titan to its dependencies.\n\n## Titan\n\nThis container is using Titan
  0.5.0. Please refer to\nits [page](https://github.com/thinkaurelius/titan/wiki/Downloads)
  for more information.\n\n## Tinkerpop and Rexster\n\n[Tinkerpop](http://www.tinkerpop.com/)
  is a vendor-independent API specification for\nmanipulating and access Graph databases.\n\n[Rexster](https://github.com/tinkerpop/rexster/wiki)
  is a service that provides protocols\nfor accessing a graph database. Currently
  it supports two protocols:\n\t- REST over HTTP: Human-readable and good for testing\n\t-
  RexPro: Binary Protocol for performance\n\nIf you'd like to avoid vendor lock-in,
  then I'd recommend using Rexster as the API\nfor accessing your Graph database.
  It has support for popular graph databases,\nso you can avoid refactoring your code.
  Take a look at Tinkerpop Gremlin for a\nGroovy-DSL for querying graphs to see how
  RexPro and Gremlin provide syntactical\nelegance to query graphs.\n\n## System Requirements\n\nThe
  minimum system requirements for this stack is 1 GB with 2 cores.\n\n### Port Forwarding\n\n8182:
  HTTP port for REST API\n\n8183: RexPro for native access (Binary protocol)\n\n8184:
  JMX Port (You won't need to use this, probably)\n\nYou can read more about it in
  the Rexster documentation.\n\nTo test out the REST API:\n\n```\ncurl http://localhost:<port-mapped-to-8182>/graphs/graph/vertices\n```\n\nPlease
  refer to the [instructions](https://github.com/CenturyLinkLabs/panamax-ui/wiki/How-To%3A-Port-Forwarding-on-VirtualBox)
  on how to do port forwarding on VirtualBox.\n\n## Roadmap\n\nIn the near future,
  I'd like to add support for:\n\n\t- Scaling/Clustering Cassandra and ElasticSearch
  backends.\n\t- External volumes for persistent data.\n\t- Security between Titan
  and its backends.\n\t- Example application stack integrating with Titan."
