Apoc.load.json from url got stuck

General

Hi everyone,

I have the below query to load 4mb of json data and it got stuck without any warning or error only kept on spinning.

If anybody can help or suggest me a solution that will be helpful.

You can directly run the query if you want to check

CALL apoc.periodic.iterate(
	"CALL apoc.load.json('https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/demo.hcpspace.app/bulk_connections.json')
	YIELD value as row",
	"MERGE(n:People{uuid: row.uuid})
	WITH n,row
		UNWIND row.uuids as uuid
		MERGE(p:People{uuid: uuid})
		MERGE(n)-[:FOLLOW]->(p)",
	{batchSize:100, parallel:true})

I totally forgot to create index. I was recreating the db and forgot to add index. Thank you for pointing out

If you execute the apoc.load.json and look at the results, there are 70,251 records. I tried your query and it kept spinning. I add the following index and it completed in around 7 sec.

CREATE INDEX ON :People(uuid)

I would say the problem is the MERGE statements that have to look up the node by 'uuid'. Without the index this is a node scan, which takes longer and longer as the number of nodes increases.
