What are the cases where homogenous graph and heterogenous graph should be used ?

Hi , In what cases do we use homogenous graphs and heterogenous graphs in SAP HANA DB.

Is there a performance difference in using homogenous and heterogenous graphs .

Any sample use cases for homogenous and heterogenous graphs would be very helpful.

Thank you

Homogeneous graphs in SAP HANA are used when all nodes are of the same type, like a social network of users, offering better performance due to simpler relationships. Heterogeneous graphs, with different node types (e.g., suppliers, products, customers), enable more complex analyses but require more processing power. Use homogeneous graphs for straightforward networks and heterogeneous graphs for deeper, multi-entity insights.
