Re: noe4j training for grad students

[Michael Hunger]

Hi John,

what have you done so far? And what kind of machine are you using?

I recommend using the neo4j-import tool to import a graph of that size that allows you to constitute the graph from two CSV files.

What kind of operations do you want to do with the graph?

Cheers, Michael

Hello​,

I'm a graduate student studying complex networks/systems at Indiana University, and I'm interested in using your graph database system, neo4j, for large scale simulations. In particular, I need to represent a graph of 10^7 nodes and ~10^10 edges, with an ID property and string property for each node. 

After a few naive attempts, I've discovered that efficiently interfacing with your system (specifically writing to it in bulk) is more complicated than anticipated. Do you have training resources/courses which would specifically cover very large scale graph implementation (efficiently writing, accessing/updating, etc.)?  

Thanks,
