graph database for trace analysis

[Joel Reymont]

What do you folks think of using a graph database for trace analysis?

Each trace converts into several graph nodes with attributes like source process, destination process, timestamp, etc. 

The benefit I see is being able to construct queries that time requests as they go through the system. Each request consists of several messages sent between different processes and results in a response. 

It seems near impossible to do this kind of analysis using available profiling tools. Interactive querying and analysis is definitely impossible at the moment.
