Hi,

I am trying to import data into neo4j database (4.0) since it supports multiple databases but it keeps failing. Below are the details for what I have done:

1. Using neo4j 4.0 docker image from here:  
[Docker](https://hub.docker.com/_/neo4j)

2. After the database is up, creating a separate database :  
:use system;  
create database ;

3. bash into the docker image, this also has mapped folders for import to the host machine which has the files I want to import. clear the directory of the new db I created and ran the import:

/rm -rf \*  
/neo4j-admin import --nodes=........

1. Import shows completed successfully, i restart the docker image and try to start the database I get the following errors on the browser and checking the debug.log

on Browser- It says database Unavailable;

in debug.log -  
Exception occurred while starting the database. Trying to stop already started components. Mismatching store id. Store StoreId: StoreId{creationTime=1582552073402, randomId=5744980951625476795, storeVersion=3471765337752883975, upgradeTime=1582552073402, upgradeTxId=1}.

Any help is appreciated. I am stuck at this step. These are steps that used to work fine on version 3.\* but I believe there must be some extra steps I am missing for version 4 and the neo4j docs does not help much with this if your setup is in a docker image.
