mutating Cypher queries and auto-indexing

[brian]

Hello,

I just wanted to confirm that my understanding is correct.  Is it true that mutating Cypher queries do not affect auto-indexes?  For example, if I create/delete a Node via a Cypher query, will the Node be added/removed from the associated auto index?

Thanks.

If you enabled and configured the auto-index to index the fields of such a node, then yes.

Please note that index removal happens lazily when the nodes is requested the next time from the index and not found in the graphdb.

Cheers

Michael

I'm not sure which of my questions you were answering "yes" to.  I probably should have phrased my question differently.  I think you're saying that nodes create/deleted using Cypher *should* be added/removed in the auto index?  Is that correct?

Thanks.

yep, that is correct.

the precondition being.

# you enabled the autoindex

# you configured the autoindex to index fields that occur on those nodes
