Hi Peter -

Do you mean an REST endpoint that returns true/false if a node with the
property exists? 

I'm looking at this from the context of batch inserts where you may be
adding 400 Facebook friends or 2000 Twitter followers and would want to
avoid the overhead of several hundreds of REST requests. The question is how
far down the line to put it.

I have brought this up with Stephen in regard to Rexster. If you guys are
planning on implementing a unique index, it may make sense for this to be at
the DB level and then give Rexster the ability to use multiple DB-specific
indices, such as Neo4j Fulltext, Neo4j Spatial, and something like a Neo4j
unique index if that's on its way.
