Hello! I'm new to Neo4j and need some advice regarding my project and how I should proceed. The purpose of the project is to find the shortest path between two things (similar to RelFinder) as quickly as possible.
So far I've loaded a few million dbpedia triples using NxParser and neo4j-rdf component as well as tried neo4j's pathfinding capabilities. Everything works fine! However, I have noticed that neo4j-rdf's DenseTripleStore stores object literals and their predicates within the subject node as a set of properties. Since, above all, I'm after fast traversals I'm wondering, whether this incurs any performance penalties to pathfinding algorithms? If I were to store those literals as separate nodes, would _that_ incur penalties? Is neo4j-rdf still in development or should I try out TinkerPop's Blueprints (seems very popular lately!)? Whilst I like the features these high-level wrappers provide, I'm really only using pathfinding and indexing. Should I write my own lightweight wrapper? But in the end is it really worth it, or should I just use existing wrappers? Thank you! _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
