Difference between graph shutdown and graph drop?

[nandan parikh]

What is the primary difference between graph shutdown and graph drop?
When should graph.shutdown() be used? Are there any threads which keep running if we dont use graph.shutdown?

Hi,

you can use the graph.shutdown() when you want to release the OrientGraph instance.

Graph.shutdown() effectively closes a connection (the OrientGraph object) -- use it early and often, but only when you're done with the connection.

Graph.drop() will remove the database from memory, disk, etcetera -- only use with caution!

In my unit tests, I create an in-memory instance of my database in the setup() method, and use graph.shutdown() followed by graph.drop() in the teardown() method. That is the only way that I would suggest using graph.drop() on a regular basis.
