Hell all, 

Thanks for all your hard work in delivering such a great product. 

I have an application built on top of neo4j using the java api for v3.0.1. 
It requires finding a "top" node first at the beginning of every one of my 
graph operations.  This top node serves as the start of my graph db.  I 
noticed an earlier edition of neo4j used a 
reference node from which to retrieve the graph.  Since that apparently is 
no longer a feature in newer releases, 
I chose to label this top node with a "TOP" label, and then simply retrieve 
this node using findNode method.  Now, this method works 
great so long as the testing is done in a single thread.  However, when 
used in multiple threads, it occasionally gets a 
MultipleFoundException thrown when invoking this findNode method.  I feel 
quite certain that my code only creates one top 
node at a time, and whenever it creates a new top node, it deletes the old 
top node and always does so within a single transaction block.  
However, if findNodes() is used instead, I find that two nodes can be 
counted by iterating through the ResourceIterator (with hasNext/getNext). 
(Although I'm not sure if they are both viable active nodes.) 

Is this the best technique for maintaining such a single top node?  Or is 
there a more preferred way?

Does the ResourceIterator that is returned ever contain outdated entries? 
(I notice the javadocs for this class is missing.) 

I would appreciate any ideas you may have on this.  

Thanks again.
David Starkweather
