About 6 months ago we looked at how to translate a few lines of Cypher in to way too much Java code in version 1.9.x. Since then Cypher has changed and I suck a little less at Java, so I wanted to share a few different ways to translate one into the other just in case you stuck in a mid-eighties time warp and are paid by the number of lines of code you write per hour.
But first, lemme take a #Selfie let’s make some data. Michael Hunger has a series of blog posts on getting and creating data in Neo4j, we’ll steal borrow his ideas. Let’s create 100k nodes:
WITH ["Jennifer","Michelle","Tanya","Julie","Christie","Sophie","Amanda","Khloe","Sarah","Kaylee"] AS names
FOREACH (r IN range(0,100000) | CREATE (:User {username:names[r % size(names)]+r}))
