Kuzu utilizes a factorized query processing engine. In graph traversals (joins), intermediate results can grow exponentially. Factorization allows Kuzu to avoid materializing full cross-products during joins, passing compressed representations of lists between operators. In v0.1.36, optimizations to the factorization logic have reduced memory consumption during deep recursive queries (such as Variable-Length Path traversals). kuzu v0 136 full
