Say you have some nodes in your model that may go by multiple alternative names, but all the names refer to the same object.
For example, you may want to be able to query the "World" node by using name "World" in one context, whereas in different context you want to find the same node quickly also by the name "Global".
Is it optimal to organize this information in the form of string array property aliases like this? :
回答1:
If you add World to your aliases you can use the legacy node_auto_index to index that aliases field
which will index each value individually and the query it with
Start n=node:node_auto_index(aliases="Global") return n
回答2:
I think you could use Lucene for that. You could index the same property several times with different names.
You can then query the index in the way you want through Java APIs or Cypher. For instance:
START n = node:myIndex(myProperty="ALIAS_1"),
m = node:myIndex(myProperty="ALIAS_2")
