How does one project a completely blank graph?

I want to do this so I can later stuff it with data using APOC.

Hey @daveaitel,

I believe you need at least 1 node present to project a graph. Would creating a dummy node not work in your use case?

I was at the time trying to parallelize the creation of a graph that was taking an unnecessarily large amount of time via project.cypher during the relationship phase. :(

Since then I'm going to have to figure out another way... The performance characteristics of projecting large subgraphs are very confusing to me. So I'm going to reorient my entire graph schema to make the queries simpler hopefully.

Did you already try a native projection, which is more performant oriented than the .cypher approach?
