Hi, I have just started using neo4j and have just read through the documentation found on the wiki and have a question about synchronization.
On the neo mistakes page ( http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo_Mistakes ), there is an example of what not to do called "Unnecessary synchronization" that reads like this: // don't do this synchronized void methodA() { nodeA.setProperty( "prop1", 1 ); methodB(); } synchronized void methodB() { nodeB.setProperty( "prop2", 2 ); } According to the test, "The code above is very deadlock prone when methods A and B are called concurrently.". Exactly why is that? I try to understand what the situation is that should be avoided, but when I run the code in my head I can't figure out when and why the deadlock occurs.
