Package and Description
org.neo4j.graphmatching
org.neo4j.graphmatching.filter

Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
org.neo4j.graphdb.index.AutoIndexer this feature will be removed in a future release, please consider using schema indexes instead
org.neo4j.helpers.BiConsumer use BiConsumer instead
org.neo4j.graphdb.Expander Deprecated because RelationshipExpander is deprecated. See PathExpander instead.
org.neo4j.helpers.Factory Use Factory instead.
org.neo4j.graphmatching.filter.FilterExpression
org.neo4j.graphmatching.filter.FilterValueGetter
org.neo4j.helpers.Function use Function instead
org.neo4j.helpers.Function2
org.neo4j.graphdb.traversal.InitialStateFactory use InitialBranchState instead, which has got InitialBranchState.reverse() as well.
org.neo4j.cypher.javacompat.PlanDescription See ExecutionPlanDescription which you can get from Result when using GraphDatabaseService.execute(String, Map).
org.neo4j.helpers.Predicate use Predicate instead
org.neo4j.cypher.javacompat.ProfilerStatistics See ExecutionPlanDescription.ProfilerStatistics which you can get from an ExecutionPlanDescription when using GraphDatabaseService.execute(String, Map).
org.neo4j.helpers.Provider Use Supplier instead
org.neo4j.graphdb.traversal.PruneEvaluator because of the introduction of Evaluator which combines PruneEvaluator and filtering (Predicate of Paths).
org.neo4j.graphdb.index.RelationshipAutoIndexer this feature will be removed in a future release, please consider using schema indexes instead
org.neo4j.graphdb.RelationshipExpander in favor or PathExpander. A RelationshipExpander can still be wrapped via StandardExpander.toPathExpander(RelationshipExpander) to act like a PathExpander.
org.neo4j.graphdb.ReturnableEvaluator because of the introduction of a new traversal framework, see more information at TraversalDescription and Traversal and the new traversal framework's equivalent Predicate.
org.neo4j.graphdb.StopEvaluator because of the introduction of a new traversal framework, see more information at TraversalDescription and Traversal and the new traversal framework's equivalent Evaluator.
org.neo4j.helpers.Thunk Use Supplier instead
org.neo4j.graphdb.Traverser because of an unnatural and too tight coupling with Node. Also because of the introduction of a new traversal framework and the usage of it. The new way of doing traversals is by creating a new TraversalDescription from GraphDatabaseService.traversalDescription(), add rules and behaviors to it and then calling TraversalDescription.traverse(Node...).
org.neo4j.helpers.ValueGetter use Supplier instead
org.neo4j.graphmatching.ValueMatcher
