Make sense. I would plan ahead, however, and allow for more than one index (named indexes, different index types, etc.).
As in the previous post, I'd suggest using an extended URI syntax instead of passing URI's as parameters. -----Original Message----- From: user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org [mailto:user-boun...@lists.neo4j.org] On Behalf Of Tobias Ivarsson Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 12:32 PM To: Neo user discussions Subject: Re: [Neo] Indexing in the REST API What we are fishing for here is some input on how we could get rid of the "index URI". They were added to the design we are working with now for the sole purpose of enabling us to remove a node from an index association. We create index associations for nodes by POSTing the node URI to /index/{key}/{value}, but creating URIs for the sole purpose of being able to unindex nodes seems a bit wasteful, if anyone has a better suggestion that would be great. /Tobias On Tue, Mar 23, 2010 at 5:15 PM, Mattias Persson <matt...@neotechnology.com>wrote: > I'm adding indexing to the REST API now and we just come up with a first > solution where you POST a node URI to /index/{key}/{value}.
