Spark Connector Run Cypher statement

Drivers & Stacks
1

I am able to perform spark.read and save into a dataframe. I am also able to write a dataframe as a node or relationship from Spark to Neo4j. I would like to create a pipeline where I can run most of the creation and deletion work from Spark (without using Neo4j browser). However, I cannot use :`

spark.read....option("query", "CREATE CONSTRAINT IF NOT EXISTS ON (a: APP) ASSERT (a.app_name) IS NODE KEY")

for example. Is there a way I can run the above CONSTRAINT creation using spark connector on Neo4j without running the above in Neo4j browser?

Hi @learner you can create indexes/constraints only when you're ingesting data:

https://neo4j.com/docs/spark/current/writing/#_schema_optimization_operations

If you have to do before reading it's an error, it should be always upfront when you ingest it as it will provide constraints consistency.
