An Apache project, graduating in May 2012, having been originally donated by Yahoo in August 2011. Java based, no commercial support available, but is mature and has been adopted by a number of companies (including LinkedIn and most famously Facebook who scaled it to process a trillion edges), and has a number of active developers.
