1. A computer readable storage device having a set of instructions, which when executed, performs a method for utilization of probabilistic characteristics for reduction of graph database traversals, the method comprising:

  • receiving a graph query at a graph server hosting a graph database, the graph database comprising a plurality of nodes connected by one or more edges;

    identifying an initial node from the plurality of nodes associated with the graph query;

    extracting an edge type associated with the initial node from the graph query;

    querying a probabilistic characteristic of each node from the plurality of nodes that is connected to the initial node by an edge to determine whether the edge is associated with the extracted edge type;

    selecting a subset of the plurality of nodes, the selected subset including each node from the plurality of nodes for which the edge was determined to be associated with the extracted edge type;

    continuing performance of the graph query by examining the selected subset of the plurality of nodes; and

    transmitting results of the graph query.
