V2 Compatibility

V3 API wraps the existing V2 DDL services with a new interface. The table below shows the mapping between V2 and V3 terminology.

Terminology Mapping

V2 Term	V3 Term	Description
Service	Database	Logical database
Label	Table	Table with edge schema
Alias	Alias	Table alias (unchanged)

Label Type Mapping

V2 LabelType	V3 Table Type	Conversion
INDEXED	edge	Bidirectional
MULTI_EDGE	multiEdge	Bidirectional
HASH	edge	One-way (V2 to V3 only, deprecated)

API Endpoint Mapping

DELETE /graph/v2/services/{service}/aliases/{alias}	DELETE /graph/v3/databases/{database}/aliases/{alias}

MutationMode Mapping

V2 Mode	V3 Mode	Description
SYNC	SYNC	Synchronous mutation
ASYNC	ASYNC	Asynchronous mutation
IGNORE	DROP	Drop mutations silently
-	DENY	Deny mutations (V3 only, throws error)

V3 Alias Constraints

V3 aliases can only reference tables within the same database. Cross-database aliases (supported in V2 via database.table format) are not available in V3.
