How to mark all nodes and relationships faster

Hi everyone,

i am currently using this query to mark all the nodes and relationships in my graph:

CALL apoc.periodic.iterate(
"
cypher runtime=slotted
MATCH (n)-[r]->(m)
RETURN n, r, m
",
"
SET n.fullLoadDelete = 1,
r.fullLoadDelete = 1,
m.fullLoadDelete = 1
", {batchSize: 10000, parallel: false}
);

Is there any apoc procedure to mark it in a faster way while using less memory? Only to add (mark) to all nodes and relationships a property. Then also to delete, the nodes and relationships, with this property. Thanks!

In your approach, you could be setting the same node multiple times, since it will show up multiple times if it has multiple relationships in/out. Since you are setting the same property name on nodes and relationships, you could use the following query. See if it is any faster.

CALL apoc.periodic.iterate(
    "
        match(n)
        return n
        union
        match()-[n]-()
        return n
    ",
    "
        SET n.fullLoadDelete = 1
    ", {batchSize: 10000, parallel: false}
);
