Hi, I think it is important to know first what you want to use OSM data for, because there are many ways to model OSM in neo4j depending on your final intention. The OSMImporter bundled with Neo4j Spatial will create an OSM graph that is very similar to the graph OSM internally represents. But as such it is very 'verbose' with lots of nodes and relationships connected into a complex mesh. This allows for users to edit the OSM model in Neo4j in the same way they would in OSM itself. At the time of writing, our goal was a complete replacement of the OSM database. However, it is not efficient for routing because you would be routing across every single geographic position. Therefor if your intention is routing, you would rather build a different graph. This point has been discussed a few times recently.
Let us know more about what you intend to use OSM data for, and then we can give better advice on what to do, and whether the existing OSMImporter is of any use to you or not.
