org.neo4j.unsafe.batchinsert
Interface BatchInserter

All Known Implementing Classes:

BatchInserterImpl

public interface BatchInserter

The batch inserter drops support for transactions and concurrency in favor of insertion speed. When done using the batch inserter shutdown() must be invoked and complete successfully for the Neo4j store to be in consistent state.

Only one thread at a time may work against the batch inserter, multiple threads performing concurrent access have to employ synchronization.

Transactions are not supported so if the JVM/machine crashes or you fail to invoke shutdown() before JVM exits the Neo4j store can be considered being in non consistent state and the insertion has to be re-done from scratch.

Method Detail

createNode

long createNode(Map<String,Object> properties)

Creates a node assigning next available id to id and also adds any properties supplied.

Parameters:

properties - a map containing properties or null if no properties should be added.

Returns:

The id of the created node.

nodeExists

boolean nodeExists(long nodeId)

Checks if a node with the given id exists.

Parameters:

nodeId - the id of the node.

Returns:

true if the node exists.

setNodeProperties

void setNodeProperties(long node,
                       Map<String,Object> properties)

Sets the properties of a node. This method will remove any properties already existing and replace it with properties in the supplied map.

For best performance try supply all the nodes properties upon creation of the node. This method will delete any existing properties so using it together with getNodeProperties(long) will have bad performance.

Parameters:

node - the id of the node.

properties - map containing the properties or null to clear all properties.

nodeHasProperty

boolean nodeHasProperty(long node,
                        String propertyName)

Returns true iff the node with id has a property with name .

Parameters:

node - The node id of the node to check.

propertyName - The property name to check for

Returns:

True if the node has the named property - false otherwise.

relationshipHasProperty

boolean relationshipHasProperty(long relationship,
                                String propertyName)

Returns true iff the relationship with id has a property with name .

Parameters:

relationship - The relationship id of the relationship to check.

propertyName - The property name to check for

Returns:

True if the relationship has the named property - false otherwise.

setNodeProperty

void setNodeProperty(long node,
                     String propertyName,
                     Object propertyValue)

Sets the property with name of node with id to the value . If the property exists it is updated, otherwise created.

Parameters:

node - The node id of the node whose property is to be set

propertyName - The name of the property to set

propertyValue - The value of the property to set

setRelationshipProperty

void setRelationshipProperty(long relationship,
                             String propertyName,
                             Object propertyValue)

Sets the property with name of relationship with id to the value . If the property exists it is updated, otherwise created.

Parameters:

relationship - The node id of the relationship whose property is to be set

propertyName - The name of the property to set

propertyValue - The value of the property to set

getNodeProperties
