also, checkout https://github.com/karabijavad/congress-graph for an example of its usage.

congress-graph utilizes cadet's ability to do neo4j batch insert mode to insert tons of data re: legislators, committees, etc into a graph database in a matter of minutes.

cadet also has its own DSL which allows for easy creation of nodes via the following statement: Person_by_name("Javad").lives_in_to City_by_name("Chicago")

feel free to ask me any questions.

thanks!

That looks pretty cool.

Does installing the gem install the latest stable 2.* version?

hey mark, this gem uses neo4j 2.0.3 atm

usually all i have to do is update the jar files located in the following directory: https://github.com/karabijavad/cadet/tree/master/lib/neo4j

and if the interfaces havent changed, it should work fine.

thanks!
