Abstract: Graphs have acute significance because of poly-tropic nature and have wide spread real world big data appli-cations, e.g., search engines, social media, knowledge discovery, network systems, etc. Major challenge is to develop efficient systems to store, process and analyze large graphs generated by these applications. Graph analytic is important research area in big data graphs dealing with efficient extraction of useful knowledge and interesting patterns from rapidly growing big data streams. Tremendously huge and complex data of graph applications requires specially designed graph databases having special data structures and effective features for data modeling and querying. The manipulation of large size of data requires effective scalable and distributed computational techniques for efficient graph partitioning and communication. Researchers have proposed different analytical techniques, storage structures, and processing models. This study provides insight of different graph analytical techniques and compares existing graph storage and computational technologies. This work also assesses the perfor-mance, strengths and limitations of various graph databases and processing models.
