Semi-structured data, havy use of relational information between information entities and complex analysis of high depth fast are some of the common use cases for using a graph database.

Do graph objects have id's that helps us to find the node quickly? Neo4j atm does not support distributed processing or partitioning the graph. There is high-availability and online-backup being worked on which feels more acute since Neo4j on a single instance scales over 1 Billion primitives, which should be enough for most immediate scenarios. But there are of course ways to achieve a custom partitioning using targeted techniques - but that depends on your use case ...
