Spark connector simplifies the reading and writing of data to graphs using dataframes. Let’s take a look at the core features provided by these connectors:

  • Kafka connector:
    • Provides the capability to ingest data into Neo4j using templatized Cypher queries
    • Can handle streaming data efficiently
    • Runs as a plugin on existing Kafka installations
    • You can read more about this connector at https://neo4j.com/labs/kafka/4.1/kafka-connect/
  • Spark connector:
    • Makes it easier to read nodes and relationships into a dataframe
