I ended up trying again with just java (but still running with batchInserter), adjusting my memory settings and max heap, it's currently working on the americas.osm file from cloudmade - http://downloads.cloudmade.com/americas#downloads_breadcrumbs. The file is about 99 GB when assembled.
I'm running on ubuntu 11.10 Core 2 Duo 2.Ghz with 4G ram (not very fast, but what I have available right now), Java Heap --> -Xmx=3072M config settings: neostore.nodestore.db.mapped_memory=1000M neostore.relationshipstore.db.mapped_memory=300M neostore.propertystore.db.mapped_memory=400M neostore.propertystore.db.strings.mapped_memory=800M neostore.propertystore.db.arrays.mapped_memory=100M My code is essentially from the test suite that you suggested but I am using the batchImporter instead. I'm about 1/3 of the way through and don't want to interrupt the process, but when it's done I'll try it without the batch importer. It runs at about 4500 nodes/second. Is that reasonable? I haven't looked at performance numbers from anyone else. Would the non batch performance be better? Is is better to 'includePoints' or not? One questions I had was, once I get this imported via this method ( neo4j embedded ), is it possible to move the imported db to a neo4j server? I'm hoping it is. If so, what would that process be? -- View this message in context: http://neo4j-community-discussions.438527.n3.nabble.com/osm-import-rb-tp3493463p3496760.html Sent from the Neo4j Community Discussions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
