Better, Faster, and More Scalable Neo4j than ever before
Neo4j 2.2 aims to be our fastest and most scalable release ever. With Neo4j 2.2 our engineering team introduces massive enhancements to the internal architecture resulting in higher performance and scalability.
This first milestone (or beta release) pulls all of these new elements together, so that you can “dial it up to 11” with your applications.
You can download it here for your testing.
Three of the key areas being tackled in this release are:
1. Highly Concurrent Performance
With Neo4j 2.2, we introduce a brand new page cache designed to deliver extreme performance and scalability under highly concurrent workloads. This new page cache helps overcome the limitations imposed by the current IO systems to support larger applications with hundreds of read and/or write IO requirements. The new cache is auto-configured and matches the available memory without the need to tune memory mapped IO settings anymore.
