Javier, great work with the Python bindings! I can't answer for all of the questions, but trying inline. I think the core guys might have some more insights here.

How can I remove an index? Removing an index is a good catch, I don't think there is a method for completely removing an Index right now. We should add that for 1.4 since this is really a bug in the API unless I am missing something here. > 2.

You can loop through the existing indexes and check if the node is in there, but I imagine that is a costly operation. Mattias, is there any easy way to do this? If yes, we could add it as an extension or directly into the Node-representation I think. > 3. What it happens if I remove a node that it's already indexed? Is it > removed from the index too? Same here. If you don't include a node-removal from the index in the same transaction, the index is going to be stale. All of the above behaviors are target for an "auto-index" feature that would help you with this - also for 1.4 planned. > 4.

It is referring to the exposure of the get vs. query interface of the Index API, see http://components.neo4j.org/neo4j/1.3/apidocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/index/Index.html . Thanks so much for the feedback! This is very valuable input for the next cycles. Keep it coming Javier! /peter _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
