optimize match queries

[Yaron Naveh]

Hi

using indexes I got many of my qureis to work pretty fast.

but queries that contain matches are still slower, e.g. MATCH  (n)<-[depends_on*0..7]-(x)<-[:likes]-(u)

is there any concept similar to indexes to improve performance here?

Thanks,

Yaron

This is not just any ordinary match but a variable length relationship which will touch exponentially more nodes with every step (n^7)

so perhaps you re-visit your use-case (when you really need that many hops out?)
