Hi Nigel, hi Mathias,

Thanks for the suggestions !

> You should try with Neo4j 2.2.5
Do you think to a specific fix released in this version which may help here 
?
Anyway, I think I'll upgrade in a close future.

> I strongly suggest that you upgrade to py2neo 2.0 and, if possible, 
migrate to using Cypher transactions instead of batches.
Yep. It's clearly a task in my todo list ! :)
For reasons related to the planning of my project, I can't do it right now 
because it would need to be done in the rush and that sounds risky.

Anyway, I think I've made some good progresses:
- I've found why no exception was bubbling even with a call to submit(). 
Basically, the exception was silenced by some of my code handling 
exceptions, Arghhhhh. Stupid me !
- The scenario seems to be the following:
  - a process writes a bunch of update/create with a WriteBatch
  - a concurrent process tries to read some data with a CypherQuery. 
  - a lock is detected for the read request. As I've implemented a "retry" 
pattern around my calls to CypherQuery, the read request is sent again but 
the first one is never closed => Error message appearing in the logs of 
Neo4j server.

I'm currently testing this modification of the submit() method:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
def submit(self):
        try:
            responses = self._execute()
            return [BatchResponse(rs).hydrated for rs in responses.json]
        finally:
            if responses:
                responses.close()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far, results seem good but I want the processes to run on a long period.
I just want to be sure that putting the call to _execute() inside the 
try/except block won't have nasty side-effects (especially in case of an 
exception occurring in the _execute() method.
