[Neo] Neo4j Traverse API

[Satish Varma Dandu]

Hi John/nishith/Ulf,
  Thanks guys for all your replies.

John,
  I was thinking about the same thing that you suggested. I havent yet
constructed a huge n/w, but i was just curious how long will it take to
traverse for 100K nodes or 1M nodes & & comparing each nodes value

So for traversing  all nodes, is it going to be too expensive; just curious
though

  if ( userHasTextOnProfile( node, "neo4j" ) ) // for Million nodes
       {
         .....
       }


Thanks,
-Satish
