Why not just keep the reference to the actual Node object then? Neo4j's internal cache and memory management makes this really cheap to do. [1]
As to your questions about size of property of an index and maximum memory, you will have to be clearer, I really don't understand what you are asking for. -tobias [1] a Node object always occupies exactly 32B in a 64bit JVM, and I believe that would translate to 20B on a 32bit JVM. The actual state of the Node is stored internally in Neo4j and managed through the Neo4j cache. 2011/3/23 孤竹 <[email protected]> > Yes, I know I can't assign the IDS.
