Dear Michael,

Thanks for the answer.

That's the complain, it's very much Linux like, where some documentation 
can be found on the help, but nothing on the website, and no tutorials.
For people used to the tool and have been working with it for long, that 
documentation does make sense, but for people new to the technology, it's 
too abstract and confusing (and I have 20 years+ of dev experience).

Thanks for the links, that I've seen as well as some other use case.
For my understanding, this still a simple relation between 2 different 
nodes. What I mean by more complex graph is something that can be done in 
Cypher, such as some "if/else" comparisons, etc.

I'll give it another shot, even if it means duplicating the data or so 
(cases when multipl ids are present, for example, a "Content" can have 
"Creator ID", "Category ID", "Size ID", so being able to match with more 
than 2 nodes at a time would be awesome)
  

3) Import is supported only on an empty database, so there is no way to use

Thanks, that's a great news, hopefully it's a near future, as it's highly 
important when needing to work with high frequency data that needs to be 
imported in batches.

Sincerely,
Farid
