Real-world graphs are typically distributed across multiple data centers. When performing reachability queries on these distributed graphs, reachability labeling methods ensure fast query processing by using lightweight indexes. One of the best-known labeling methods is TOL; however, TOL is a serial algorithm and cannot handle distributed graphs. The main goal of this paper is to design new labeling methods that can work in parallel while producing the same index as TOL. To this end, we investigate the limitation of TOL and thus propose a filtering-and-refinement framework for index creation. This framework first obtains a super-set of each vertex's label sets and then eliminates the invalid elements. Based on this framework, we design distributed labeling algorithms and then use batch processing to improve efficiency. Experimental results on real-world graphs show that the proposed algorithms can index distributed graphs efficiently.
