Hey Philip, I'm no whiz at this, I just want to give you my two cents. I'm looking forward to hearing what the Neo developer team and the other community members have to say here too.
As I understand it, Neo's primary usage is not for mapping one number to another (node ID), or numbers to objects, if you will. It is not where Neo shines. I would probably go with some kind of Map implementation. You could probably arrange the UUIDs in some kind of tree though. Not sure if this would be more effective than a java.util Map implementation. I guess the issue would be where to persist this data structure. That I'd like to know. /David PS. Is it possible to create a node with a specific node ID? DS.
