org.neo4j.kernel.impl.nioneo.store.UnderlyingStorageException during import on Windows

[vsletten]

I'm trying to import a 3 GB node file and a 1.5 GB edge file on Windows. Using neo4j version community-1.9.M01. After crunching away on the nodes file for about 20 sec, I get the exception shown in the title. Here is the full stack trace. Note, the batch-importer works fine for me on much smaller files.

Thanks for the feedback, I escalated it within the Neo4j team, sorry have never run the Batch-Inserter on a Windows (don't have any). In the meantime could you run your import on a Linux instance (e.g. on ec2) ?

@vsletten this is a known issue, and should go away if you turn off memory mapping (which should be disabled by default on windows). The performance impact of that may be large, however. If you find performance to be too slow, and you have tuned the memory settings of the batch importer to reasonable levels, consider doing the batch import on an OS X, Unix or Linux system.

Then it perhaps makes sense to set the mmio-settings to be all smaller or equal to 2G ?

I am trying to import 2.8M nodes using super fast batch importer. It seems in windows machine has some issue. I am getting below exception. While googling found same issue found before. Looks like issue is still persist.

Should I need to try from linux machine ? Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks

Hi @rswarup82,

yes linux would be the easiest alternative.

You can try to change the config to use_memory_mapped_buffers=false and increase the heap size in the batch-script to accomodate 2G + the sum of your configured mmio sizes: i.e. 5GB heap

I would change those to this:

neostore.nodestore.db.mapped_memory=250M
neostore.relationshipstore.db.mapped_memory=1000M
neostore.relationshipgroupstore.db.mapped_memory=10M
neostore.propertystore.db.mapped_memory=500M
neostore.propertystore.db.strings.mapped_memory=500M
neostore.propertystore.db.arrays.mapped_memory=215M

Hi Michael,

It's working now. Thanks for your quick help.
