Do I have to split relations of a node into domains?

[Frandro]

In my case, as the edges of a node grow the performance becomes worse.

My use case includes traversing all neighbor nodes and their neighbor nodes. But the problem is that their relations of two types are growing.

I've read the following board.

There's a comment that recommends creating a meta node to have the most edges of the node.

Another one is saying the problem will be mitigated in Neo4j 2.1.

Any helpful comments will be appreciated.

The two approaches are essentially them same, although in 2.1 the "meta node" benefits are built into the store format.

If you're querying relationships that are in a minority group (type+direction) there's a good benefit, but if you query relationships in a majority group, i.e. the most common type+direction, the benefit is not as good.
