[Neo4j] Using AStar Algorithm with neo4j REST API

[Israel Ekpo]

Hi All,

I am new to neo4j and I really like it.

I love the fact that I am able to use Astar for my search when running with
org.neo4j.kernel.EmbeddedGraphDatabase in-memory.

With A-star, I am able to use dynamic values in the computation of the
shortest path at run time.

The in-memory version is not going to scale the way I would like it to, so
I would like to compute the path using Astar with the REST API

From the documentation, it does not look like Astar is support in the REST
interface.

My questions are as follows

1. Is there any reason why Astar is not available in the REST interface?

2. Is it possible to configure the server so that the REST interface can
support Astar as the algorithm instead of Dijkstra?

3. If number 2 is possible, are there any performance issues I should be
concerned about?

Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

Hi Israel,

Neo4j doesn't have an in-memory mode as you allude to - it's the same 
database whether you run it remotely or in your app (or container).

Is your reasoning because the app itself has a large footprint such that it 
contends with Neo4j within the same process?

Hi Jim,

I was just wondering how I can query the REST API for the shortest path b/w 
2 nodes using Astar instead of Dijkstra
