Hi,
You can try to create intermediary nodes that aggregate certain kinds of
relationships, i.e. create a abstraction on top of them. This is also used for
write heavy scenarios e.g. activity streams with super-nodes which are
connected to millions of others - you just introduce a second round of nodes
below the supernode, sharded on the properties of either the relationships or
the target node, this is to lower write load and also (if your sharding key
takes domain read considerations into account you can just go from your initial
node to the first subnode and only operate on the relationships from there)
Hope that helps
