One area where I would love to see the Neo4J team focus some energy is in the efficient storage and retrieval of blob/large text properties. Similar to the indexing strategy in Neo4J, it would be nice if this was pluggable (and it could depend on some other data store more optimized for blob/clob properties).
The keys for this to be successful are: - Transacted - Does not store these properties "in memory" except when accessed (and then, perhaps offer a getPropertyAsStream method and a setPropertyFromStream method for optimal performance) - Transparent - should just "work" Nice to haves, but not at all required in the first iteration: - Pluggable (store in Neo4J native, filesystem, EC2 simple storage, etc.) Addition of these capabilities would move Neo4J into a dramatically expanded realm of potential applications, some of which are quite mind blowing, both in the social realm and in the enterprise realm. Feedback welcomed! _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
