Handling high write loads
Some applications will require a high write throughputs rather than high read throughputs where updates to the same data are very frequent. In this recipe, you will learn more about how to scale Neo4j write throughputs with various techniques.
Getting ready
To get started with this recipe, install Neo4j using the earlier recipes from Chapter 1, Getting Started with Neo4j, of this book. Since this recipe covers both the Community and Enterprise Editions, it will be helpful to deploy both applications, which generate high write loads, such as check-ins or posts.
How to do it...
Now, you will learn about the various aspects of scaling Neo4j read throughputs, which are explained as follows:
- Writing to the master: In a HA configuration, writes are synced through the master node; so, even if you are writing to slaves, it will first be propagated to the master node and then to the slaves. Therefore, you can increase performance and reduce the network load if you write to the...
