Hi,

I'm trying to override the "boolean exists(Long)" function in my 
CrudRepositories interfaces, and I think I have found an inconsistency in 
Cypher about the "return" clause.

The method I want to add to "CommunityRepository" is :

    @Override
    @Query(value = "match (n:Community) where id(n)={id} return count(n) > 
0")
    public boolean exists(@Param("id") Long id);

What happens is this :
- if the node whose "id" is given carries the label ":Community", then this 
request will return a boolean "true", which is the expected behaviour.
- if the node doesn't carry the ":Community" label (for example it carries 
":Institution"), then the request will return "0 row" which is not a 
boolean value.

So the bug is that "return count(n) > 0" is ignored when there is no node 
returned.

Some help would be really appreciated as I don't know how to solve my 
original issue involving the "exists" function.

Thanks,
Grégoire
