在Microsoft Azure上neo4j的性能很差

Question

I have deployed a neo4j DB on microsoft Azure , it takes so long (2-3 seconds) to make connection and a much longer time ( 5- 7 seconds!) on making a simple queries , like:

client.Cypher.Match("(recipe:Recipe)")
            .Where("recipe.name = {name} AND recipe.whoMadeItEmail = {mader}")
            .WithParams(parameters)
            .Return(recipe => recipe.As<Recipe>())
            .Results;

it's so frustrating , we're developing a web and two applications for startup and we're struggling with the this poor performance , I also keep getting this weird error that the cord is unplugged! I run it on a ubuntu 12.04 neo4j version : 2.0.1 virtual machine : A4 (8 cores , 14GB memory)

what's wrong !!! ?

Answer 1

The Neo4j VM available through the Microsoft Azure image depot is out of date. I advise deploying Neo4j to Microsoft Azure using Docker. You can find the latest available Docker image for Neo4j community here: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/kbastani/docker-neo4j/

Also, you can use Elastic Beanstalk through Amazon EC2 using SSDs for better performance.

If you're set on Microsoft Azure's limited support for Docker, you can follow this guide: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-docker-vm-extension/

Answer 2

Did you

Create index on :Recipe(name)

?
