I'm trying to load a large csv file (1458644 row) into neo4j, but i'm still getting this error :
Neo.TransientError.General.OutOfMemoryError: There is not enough memory to perform the current task. Please try increasing 'dbms.memory.heap.max_size' in the neo4j configuration (normally in 'conf/neo4j.conf' or, if you you are using Neo4j Desktop, found through the user interface) or if you are running an embedded installation increase the heap by using '-Xmx' command line flag, and then restart the database.
even if i change dbms.memory.heap.max_size=1024m with m=megbite , the same error occurs again !
Note : the size of the csv is 195.888 KB
this is my code :
load csv with headers from "file:///train.csv" as line
create(pl:pickup_location{latitude:toFloat(line.pickup_latitude),longitude:toFloat(line.pickup_longitude)}),(pt:pickup_time{pickup:line.pickup_datetime}),(dl:dropoff_location{latitude:toFloat(line.dropoff_latitude),longitude:toFloat(line.dropoff_longitude)}),(dt:dropoff_time{dropoff:line.dropoff_datetime})
create (pl)-[:TLR]->(pt),(dl)-[:TLR]->(dt),(pl)-[:Trip]->(dl);
what should i do ?
You should use periodic commits to process the CSV data in batches. For example, this will process 10,000 lines at a time (the default batch size is 1000):
USING PERIOD COMMIT 10000
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM "file:///train.csv" as line
CREATE (pl:pickup_location{latitude:toFloat(line.pickup_latitude),longitude:toFloat(line.pickup_longitude)}),(pt:pickup_time{pickup:line.pickup_datetime}),(dl:dropoff_location{latitude:toFloat(line.dropoff_latitude),longitude:toFloat(line.dropoff_longitude)}),(dt:dropoff_time{dropoff:line.dropoff_datetime})
CREATE (pl)-[:TLR]->(pt),(dl)-[:TLR]->(dt),(pl)-[:Trip]->(dl);
I Solved the problem by copying the solution for limited row here
so this is my solution:
USING PERIODIC COMMIT
load csv with headers from "file:///train.csv" as line
with line LIMIT 1458644
create (pl:pickup_location{latitude:toFloat(line.pickup_latitude),longitude:toFloat(line.pickup_longitude)}),(pt:pickup_time{pickup:line.pickup_datetime}),(dl:dropoff_location{latitude:toFloat(line.dropoff_latitude),longitude:toFloat(line.dropoff_longitude)}),(dt:dropoff_time{dropoff:line.dropoff_datetime})
create (pl)-[:TLR]->(pt),(dl)-[:TLR]->(dt),(pl)-[:Trip]->(dl);
the downside of this solution is that you need to know the number of rows of your big csv file (excel can't open large csv files).
