That doesn't work. What are you trying to achieve?

I'm curious as to why you would want to host your Neo4j database in Amazon S3.

One solution would be to look at a product like ExpanDrive (http://www.expandrive.com/docs/map-network-drive/connecting-to-amazon-s3) which lets you map an S3 bucket as a drive letter on Windows or as a Network Drive on a Mac.

David,

We are running MapReduce job in Amazon EMR and planning to store in Amazon S3 as our jar file is also stored in Amazon S3.

We can also put it on Amazon EC2. Please suggest the better solution and what path I need to give.

Pedro,

My Project is in Amazon S3 and I'm running it through Amazon EMR. Now I've two options to store the db either I can store into Amazon S3 or I can store it in Amazon EC2.

I've used Cypher JDBC in my Project, so I need to specify the path in the following line.

GraphDatabaseService db = new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase("neo4j.db.path");

Please help with the best possible way.

This doesn't sound like a wise thing to do. That being said, you could use S3FS.

I think the idea of running Neo4j on EC2 is the only option. Running it on a remote S3 store, even if you get it to work somehow, would perform insanely badly.
