Hi,
Would it be possible to just traverse the friends looking for the
"neo4j" text on their profile? Like this:
Node user = // get the user;
Traverser trav = user.traverse( Order.BREADTH_FIRST,
new StopEvStopEvaluator.END_OF_GRAPH,
ReturnableEvaluator.ALL_BUT_START_NODE,
RelTypes.FRIEND, Direction.BOTH );
for ( Node node : trav )
{
int currentDepth = trav.currentPosition().depth();
if ( currentDepth > 2 )
{
// we only check second level friends
break;
}
if ( userHasTextOnProfile( node, "neo4j" ) )
{
addNodeToResult( node, currentDepth );
}
}
If that is too slow you could combine a lucene search (for fulltext
search see
http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Indexing_with_IndexService#Fulltext_indexing)
and a traversal like this:
Set<Node> nodeSet = new HashSet<Node>();
for ( Node node : index.getNodes( "profile_text", "neo4j" ) )
{
nodeSet.add( node );
}
Node user = // get the user;
Traverser trav = user.traverse( Order.BREADTH_FIRST,
StopEvaluator.END_OF_GRAPH, ReturnableEvaluator.ALL_BUT_START_NODE,
RelTypes.FRIEND, Direction.BOTH );
for ( Node node : trav )
{
int currentDepth = trav.currentPosition().depth();
if ( currentDepth > 2 )
{
// we only check second level friends
break;
}
if ( nodeSet.contains( node ) )
{
addNodeToResult( node, currentDepth );
}
}
If there are very few hits on the lucene search it is more efficient
to do a shortest path search using the neo4j-graph-algo component
(0.4-SNAPSHOT):
Node user = // get the user;
// search using lucene and for each node do a shortest path lookup to user
for ( Node node : index.getNodes( "profile_text", "neo4j" ) )
{
List<Relationship> path = new FindSingleShortestPath( user,
node, RelTypes.FRIEND, 2 ).getPathAsRelationships();
int depth = path.size();
if ( depth > 0 )
{
addNodeToResult( node, depth );
}
}
Regards,
-Johan
