The use of synthetic graph generators is a common practice among
graph-oriented benchmark designers, as it allows obtaining graphs with the
required scale and characteristics. However, finding a graph generator that
accurately fits the needs of a given benchmark is very difficult, thus
practitioners end up creating ad-hoc ones. Such a task is usually
time-consuming, and often leads to reinventing the wheel. In this paper, we
introduce the conceptual design of DataSynth, a framework for property graphs
generation with customizable schemas and characteristics. The goal of DataSynth
is to assist benchmark designers in generating graphs efficiently and at scale,
saving from implementing their own generators. Additionally, DataSynth
introduces novel features barely explored so far, such as modeling the
correlation between properties and the structure of the graph. This is achieved
by a novel property-to-node matching algorithm for which we present preliminary
promising results
