At the moment, there's no purely in-memory implementation. However:

   1) From a runtime perspective, if you just give the JVM enough RAM
then the Neo4j kernel will keep everything cached, in effect turning
it into an in-memory solution for reads with write-through.

   2) I know that Tobias was hacking on a way to mock up a NeoService
for unit testing, which really is an in-memory Neo4j. This was a while
ago though and I'm not sure if it was ever finished.

What is your specific use case?

Cheers,
