This Week in Neo4j - Near Natural Language Search in Bloom, Neo4j on Pivotal Container Service, Neo4j – Kafka

This week Anurag Tandon shows us how to do Near Natural Language Search in Bloom, and we saw the release Neo4j Enterprise Causal Clustering on Pivotal Container Service (PKS).

We also learn how to use Siren, an investigative intelligence platform, with Neo4j, and Dave Fauth has started a series of posts connecting Neo4j, MySQL, and Kafka.

Near Natural Language Search in Bloom (Video #2 in Bloom Series)

In the 2nd video of Anurag Tandon‘s series of videos on Neo4j Bloom, the graph visualisation tool, we learn about near natural language search.

With the help of a finance dataset, Anurag takes us on a guided tour of Bloom’s search capabilities, including basic search terms, search phrases, and pattern based search.

Getting Started with Neo4j on Pivotal Container Service (PKS)

David Allen announced the release of Neo4j Enterprise Causal Clustering on Pivotal Container Service (PKS), Pivotal’s Enterprise Kubernetes platform.

This distribution makes it possible to quickly and easily spin up a clustered, highly available graph database on top of Kubernetes.

Neo4j – Kafka – MySQL: Configuration – Part 1

Dave Fauth has started a series of posts showing how to stream data from MySQL into Kafka, and from there into Neo4j .

In the first post Dave sets up Maxwell’s Daemon to stream data from MySQL to Kafka, and configures a Neo4j cluster with Neo4j Kafka Streams to connect to a Kafka server.
