Neo4j Random Relationships - neo4j

I have vertice v which has a lot of (millions) edges. Each time I query for a small subset of these edges (1K). I would like these edges to be different in each query. Is it possible?

Here is one way to do that (using Cypher):
MATCH (v:Foo)
WHERE v.id = 'node_with_millions_of_BAR_relationships'
WITH v, [(v)-[r:BAR]->() | r] AS rels
WITH v, rels, CASE WHEN $limit >= SIZE(rels)
THEN 1.0
ELSE TOFLOAT($limit) / SIZE(rels) END AS pct
RETURN v, CASE WHEN pct >= 1.0
THEN rels
ELSE REDUCE(s = [], x IN rels | CASE
WHEN SIZE(s) < $limit AND rand() < pct THEN s + x
ELSE s END)
END AS randomRels
Assumptions made by this example:
The (maximum) number of random relationships to return is specified by the limit parameter.
The node of interest has the Foo label, and the relationships of interest are outgoing and have the BAR type.

Invalid use of aggregating function max

match(n)-[r:LIKES]->(m) with count(n) as cnt, m where cnt = max(cnt) return m
Above query results in following error:
Invalid use of aggregating function max(...) in this context (line 1,
column 61 (offset: 60))
This query should return a collection of the m nodes that have the maximum count. It only needs to perform a single MATCH operation, and should be relatively performant.
MATCH (n)-[:LIKES]->(m)
WITH m, COUNT(n) AS cnt
WITH COLLECT({m: m, cnt: cnt}) AS data, MAX(cnt) AS maxcnt
RETURN REDUCE(ms = [], d IN data | CASE WHEN d.cnt = maxcnt THEN ms + d.m ELSE ms END) AS ms;
If you're just trying to find a single node that has the most LIKES relationships leading to it, then you can add an ORDER BY and LIMIT:
MATCH (n)-[:LIKES]->(m)
WITH m, count(n) AS cnt
ORDER BY cnt DESC
LIMIT 1
RETURN m
However, that query has the limitation in that if more than one node has the maximum number of inbound relationships, then those tied nodes won't be returned. To achieve that result, you might try something like this:
MATCH (n)-[:LIKES]->(m)
WITH m, count(n) AS cnt
WITH MAX(cnt) AS maxcnt
MATCH (o)
WHERE size((o)<-[:LIKES]-()) = maxcnt
RETURN o

neo4j cypher deep first search

I have a tree-like graph as shown below
Now let's say I start from the root node R and want to find all the paths from 1 to the nearest type B node. In the example graph, the result should be
path-1: 1,2
path-2: 1,3,6,10,13
path-3: 1,3,7,10,13
How can I do this?
Keep the node type in the label - (:A) and (:B), relationships between nodes are of type 'connect'.
// Find all paths from Root to all B-nodes
MATCH (A:A {name:1}), p = (A)-[:connect*]->(B:B)
// Get all node labels for each path
WITH A, p, extract( n in nodes(p) | labels(n) ) as pathLabels
// We find the number of occurrences of B-node in each path
WITH A, p, reduce( bCount = 0, Labels in pathLabels |
CASE WHEN 'B' IN Labels THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + bCount
) as bCount
// Return only the path in which the B-node is in the end of the path
WHERE bCount = 1
RETURN p
Example data query:
MERGE (A1:A {name:1})-[:connect]-(B2:B {name:2}) MERGE (A1)-[:connect]-(A3:A {name:3}) MERGE (B2)-[:connect]-(A4:A {name:4}) MERGE (B2)-[:connect]-(A5:A {name:5}) MERGE (A4)-[:connect]-(B8:B {name:8}) MERGE (B8)-[:connect]-(A11:A {name:11}) MERGE (B8)-[:connect]-(A12:A {name:12}) MERGE (A5)-[:connect]-(A9:A {name:9}) MERGE (A3)-[:connect]-(A6:A {name:6}) MERGE (A3)-[:connect]-(A7:A {name:7}) MERGE (A6)-[:connect]-(A10:A {name:10}) MERGE (A7)-[:connect]-(A10) MERGE (A10)-[:connect]-(B13:B {name:13}) RETURN *
Update (searching not A-type nodes):
// Find all paths from Root to all not A-nodes
MATCH (A:A {name:1}), p = (A)-[:connect*]->(B) WHERE NOT 'A' IN labels(B)
// Get all node labels for each path
WITH A, p, extract( n in nodes(p) | labels(n) ) as pathLabels
// We find the number of occurrences of A-node in each path
WITH A, p, reduce( aCount = 0, Labels in pathLabels |
CASE WHEN 'A' IN Labels THEN 1 ELSE 0 END + aCount
) as aCount
// Return only the path in which the count of A-node
// is 1 less the total number of nodes in the path.
WHERE aCount = length(p)
RETURN p

Neo4j - Return a path only when relationship property between all of the pairs of nodes exists

Let's say, I have a path A->B->C->D and the relationships have a property val.
Now, I have to pick any two nodes from the path and if the rel.val>0.8
and if it is true for all the pair of nodes, then return the path
Ex:
P = A-->B-->C-->D
All nodes = [A,B,C,D]
return p if{
rel.val of (A,B) >0.8
rel.val of (A,C) >0.8
rel.val of (A,D) >0.8
rel.val of (B,C) >0.8
rel.val of (B,D) >0.8
rel.val of (C,D) >0.8
}
Here is my query, (of course the query is wrong):
MATCH p=(a{word:"quality"})-[r*1..2]->(b)
WHERE NONE (n IN nodes(p) WHERE size(filter(x IN nodes(p) WHERE n = x))> 1)
MATCH q = (a)-[r:coocr]->(b) where a in nodes(p) AND b in nodes(p) AND NOT b = a AND None(rel IN rels(q) WHERE rel.val < 0.8 )
RETURN p
In summary, you want to MATCH a path and then make sure that all pairs of nodes in your path are connected by a relationship which fullfills a certain criterion (rel.val > 0.8).
Interesting question, I think this is not really straightforward. Maybe I am overlooking something obvious?
Here is an idea how to approach the problem. You first MATCH your path, then MATCH between all nodes in the path and count the number of relationships with rel.val > 0.8. This number has to be the size of the factorial of the number of nodes (num relationships == (num nodes)!, number of possible combinations of 2).
The following query returns the number of relationships, but I don't know how to compare this to the factorial of the number of nodes:
// match your path like before
MATCH p=(a:Uselabel {word:"quality"})-[r:USETYPE*1..2]->(b)
// use unwind to get the nodes from the path
UNWIND nodes(path) AS x
// do this twice to match the nodes onto themselves
UNWIND nodes(path) AS y
// match your relationship
MATCH (x)-[rel:USETYPE]-(y)
// criterion for your relationship
WHERE rel.val > 0.8
// only if two different nodes
WHERE x <> y
// get the count of pairs
WITH p, count(DISTINCT rel) AS num_pairs
// now I don't know how to get/compare the factorial of the number of nodes :)
RETURN num_pairs
I didn't find a built-in function for the factorial, so you have to look into this.

Possible to combine these two queries

I have two cypher queries and would like to know if there is a possibility to get the Points and HeadHunter information within one single statement.
MATCH (s:SEASON)-[*]->(e:EVENT)<-[f:FINISHED]-(p:PLAYER)
WHERE s.id = 8 AND e.id <= 1197
RETURN p, sum(f.points) AS Points
ORDER BY Points DESC
MATCH (s:SEASON)-[*]->(e:EVENT)<-[el:ELIMINATED]-(p:PLAYER)
WHERE s.id = 8 AND e.id <= 1197
RETURN p, sum(el.points) AS HeadHunter
ORDER BY HeadHunter DESC
I played around with different approaches but none of them worked. I would like to do something like this:
MATCH (s:SEASON)-[*]->(e:EVENT)<-[el:ELIMINATED]-(p:PLAYER),(e)<-[f:FINISHED]-(p)
WHERE s.id = 8 AND e.id <= 1197
RETURN p, sum(el.points) AS HeadHunter, sum(f.points) AS Points
Does this work for you?
MATCH (s:SEASON)-[*]->(e:EVENT)<-[rel:FINISHED|ELIMINATED]-(p:PLAYER)
WHERE s.id = 8 AND e.id <= 1197
WITH p, COLLECT(rel) AS rels
RETURN p,
REDUCE(s = 0, x IN rels | CASE WHEN TYPE(x) = 'FINISHED' THEN s + x.points ELSE s END) AS Points,
REDUCE(s = 0, x IN rels | CASE WHEN TYPE(x) = 'ELIMINATED' THEN s + x.points ELSE s END) AS HeadHunter
This should return the relevant sums for each PLAYER that either finished and/or got eliminated.
In principle I think your query can work, but you may have made a mistake with your p variable. In this query:
MATCH (s:SEASON)-[*]->(e:EVENT)<-[el:ELIMINATED]-(p:PLAYER),(e)<-[f:FINISHED]-(p)
WHERE s.id = 8 AND e.id <= 1197
RETURN p, sum(el.points) AS HeadHunter, sum(f.points) AS Points
Note that p has to be a player with both the ELIMINATED relationship and the FINISHED relationship. I'm guessing based on the semantics of your domain, that doesn't make sense; you can't be eliminated and have finished, right?
So you might want to try some variant of this:
MATCH (s:SEASON)-[*]->(e:EVENT)<-[el:ELIMINATED]-(pElim:PLAYER),(e)<-[f:FINISHED]-(pFinish)
WHERE s.id = 8 AND e.id <= 1197
RETURN pElim, sum(el.points) AS HeadHunter, pFinish, sum(f.points) AS Points
Note with this you'll have a lot of extra rows of output for various combinations of pElim and pFinish but the respective values should be correct.

cypher path with condition on relationship direction

I want to find all paths given a start node
MATCH path=(n)-[rels*1..10]-(m)
with the following 2 conditions on path inlcusion:
true if relationship between subsequent nodes in path has property PROP='true'
if type(relationship)=SENDS then true if direction of the relationship is outgoing (from one path node to the next node in the path)
Another way of phrasing this is that direction doesn't matter unless the relationship name is SENDS
I can do condition 1 with WHERE ALL (r IN rels WHERE r.PROP='true') however ive no idea how to do condition 2.
The only way I can think of to filter on relationship direction without declaring direction in the match pattern is by comparing the start node of each relationship in the path with the node at the corresponding index of the nodes() collection from the path. For this you need the relationship and node collections from the path, an index counter and some boolean evaluation equivalent to ALL(). One way to do it is to use REDUCE with a collection for the accumulator, so you can accumulate index and maintain a true/false value for the path at the same time. Here's an example, the accumulator starts at [0,1] where the 0 is the index for testing that startNode(r) equals the node at the corresponding index in the node collection (i.e. it's an outgoing relationship) and the 1 represents true, which signifies that the path has not yet failed your conditions. For each relationship the index value is incremented and the CASE/WHEN clause multiplies the 'boolean' with 1 if your conditions are satisfied, with 0 if not. The evaluation of the path is then the evaluation of the second value in the collection returned by REDUCE -- if 1 then yay, if 0 then boo.
MATCH path = (n)-[*1..10]-(m)
WITH path, nodes(path) as ns, relationships(path) as rs
WHERE REDUCE(acc = [0,1], r IN rs |
[acc[0]+1, CASE WHEN
r.PROP='true' AND
(type(r) <> "SENDS" OR startNode(r) = ns[acc[0]]) THEN acc[1]*1 ELSE acc[1]*0 END]
)[1] = 1
RETURN path
or maybe this is more readable
WHERE REDUCE(acc = [0,1], r IN rs |
CASE WHEN
r.PROP=true AND
(type(r) <> "SENDS" OR startNode(r) = ns[acc[0]])
THEN [acc[0]+1, acc[1]*1]
ELSE [acc[0]+1, acc[1]*0]
END
)[1] = 1
Here's a console: http://console.neo4j.org/?id=v3kgz9
For completeness I've answered the question using jjaderberg correct solution plus a condition to fix the start node and ensure that no zero length paths are included
MATCH p = (n)-[*1..10]-(m)
WHERE ALL(n in nodes(p) WHERE 1=length(filter(m in nodes(p) WHERE m=n)))
AND (id(n)=1)
WITH p, nodes(p) as ns, relationships(p) as rs
WHERE REDUCE(acc = [0,1], r IN rs | [acc[0]+1,
CASE WHEN r.PROP='true' AND (type(r) <> "SEND" OR startNode(r) = ns[acc[0]])
THEN acc[1]*1
ELSE acc[1]*0
END])[1] = 1
RETURN nodes(p);
Or my alternative answer based on jjaderbags answer but does not use accumulator but which is slightly slower
MATCH p=(n)-[rels*1..10]-(m)
WHERE ALL(n in nodes(p) WHERE 1=length(filter(m in nodes(p) WHERE m=n)))
AND( ALL (r IN rels WHERE r.PROP='true')
AND id(n)=1)
WITH p, range(0,length(p)-1) AS idx, nodes(p) as ns, relationships(p) as rs
WHERE ALL (i in idx WHERE
CASE type(rs[i])='SEND'
WHEN TRUE THEN startnode(rs[i])=ns[i]
ELSE TRUE
END)
RETURN nodes(p);
