Queries to detect isomorphic subgraphs are important in graph-based data management. While the problem of subgraph isomorphism search has received considerable attention for the static setting of a single query, or a batch thereof, existing approaches do not scale to a dynamic setting of a continuous stream of queries. In this paper, we address the scalability challenges induced by a stream of subgraph isomorphism queries by caching and re-use of previous results. We first present a novel subgraph index based on graph embeddings that serves as the foundation for efficient stream processing. It enables not only effective caching and re-use of results, but also speeds-up traditional algorithms for subgraph isomorphism in case of cache misses. Moreover, we propose cache management policies that incorporate notions of reusability of query results. Experiments using real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in handling isomorphic subgraph search for streams of queries.
