Is it reliable to depend on node ID to query data?

Hi @VINNUSAURUS , we always use Graphaware UUID for our production system, so that UUID once delete are not reused(or orphaned UUID references).

Reference

Neo4j reuses its internal ids when nodes and relationships are deleted. This means that applications using, and relying on internal Neo4j ids, are brittle or at risk of making mistakes. It is therefore recommended to rather use application-generated ids.
