Hi,
You can try to create intermediary nodes that aggregate certain kinds of 
relationships, i.e. create a abstraction on top of them. This is also used for 
write heavy scenarios e.g. activity streams with  super-nodes which are 
connected to millions of others - you just introduce a second round of nodes 
below the supernode, sharded on the properties of either the relationships or 
the target node, this is to lower write load and also (if your sharding key 
takes domain read considerations into account you can just go from your initial 
node to the first subnode and only operate on the relationships from there)

Hope that helps

 OK, thanks for you help! It help me a lot!
 
 
 There is another question , In my application, there are lots of nodes and 
 relations(May be  million nodes,and ten Thousands relation). I am wonder, I 
 have a method to take relation less,but the nodes will be more( the same 
 ratio ), Is it faster or better for my search ? I think it's faster , because 
 the nodes  have index~ Please give me some advices :)

 Neo4j serializes commits. I.e. at most one thread is committing a
 transaction at once.
 For the actual work of building up the data to be committed, Neo4j supports
 multiple concurrent threads.
 
 This fact alone, that there is a single congestion point, means that if an
 application, like in your case, is very write centric, it is unlikely for it
 to scale beyond two threads, with one building up the next commit while the
 other is commiting its data. It might scale to a few more threads than that
 if the buildup time is significantly larger than the commit time. It is
 simple time slicing, only one train can be at the station at once, then
 you have to do the maths on how many trains can be out on the track during
 that time.
 
 It is also worth keeping in mind, that for CPU bound operation, an
 application doesn't scale much further than the number of CPUs in the
 computer. The threads that are not in commit mode - i.e. the ones that are
 building up the data for their next commit - are CPU bound, and contending
 for the same CPU resources. This means that your application is not going to
 scale much further than the number of CPUs in your computer, and few
 desktop/laptop computers have more than 4 CPUs these days, which makes 5
 threads about the most you can squeeze out of it, anything more than that is
 just going to add contention, and possibly even slow things down.
 
 Finally, the (CPU bound) threads that create the graph might be contending
 on the same resources. As Peter said. If multiple threads modify the same
 node or relationship, i.e. if they create relationships to the same node
 (the root node for example), they are all going to block on that resource.
 Neo4j only allows one transaction to modify each entity at a time. This
 means that to get maximum concurrency out of your data creation, each thread
 should be creating each own disconnected subgraph. And if they have
 connected parts, the connections to the global data should be made last in
 the transaction (in a predictable order to avoid deadlocks[1]), to maximize
 the time the thread is operational before hitting the
 congestion point that is the (potentially) contended data.
 
 Cheers,
 Tobias

  Recently, I am learning Neo4j and trying to use it in my project . But
 When I make a Pressure on neo4j with 5 theads , 10 theads, 20 and 30, I
 found the nodes inserted to the Neo4J is not change obvious (sometimes not

 Serial ? Is there any documents or something about The performance of Neo4j
 ? thanks for your help
