Chris, I think that auto indexing is another great reason for a formal concept of "node type". It could provide an unambiguous link between a node and its indexing strategy(ies).

To: "Neo4j user discussions" <user@lists.neo4j.org> No, that is not what i meant. The main idea is to provide the means to configure at least some aspects of the auto index instead of relying on the default settings only. There will still be one auto index for each primitive category. However, one feature under consideration is to actually allow an arbitrary number of auto indexes, each of which will allow for individual configuration. So, when that comes along you will have what you described (and more, actually). thanks, CG On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 12:29 PM, Aseem Kishore <aseem.kish...@gmail.com> wrote: > Awesome to hear, Chris, thanks.
