Neo4j.properties and the Config object.

[dstibbe]

Hi,

there is a post somewhere that says that the Neo4j server can be
configured as read only by setting the "read_only" property to true in
the neo4j.properties file.

We would like to use this property, but found that it wasn't properly
documented in any of the configuration manuals. However, we did find
that the "org.neo4j.kernel.configuration.Config" object has a property
by the same name (as well as a property "cache_type" in the same
post) .

Can we safely assume that we are allowed to use all the properties
from the Config object in neo4j.properties?

Anyone from neo4j who can give us a conclusive answer on this?


Kind regards,
David Stibbe

Hi there,
yes, these configurations are usable. We have been refactoring the
whole config system to be suitable for automatic documentation in the
manual, the last step (generating ASCIIdoc and including it in the
manual, and automatically generate the neo4j.properties files from the
default Config code) is still missing. You can assume that these
config options are valid. Also, the explaination should be there in
Javadoc already.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we are trying to set up a system that
will never fail to miss documentation again :)

Cheers,
