Easier way for multi node types?

[bemurphy]

Leaving this here because I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious, plus it might help somebody in the same boat.

I used the importer for pulling in MovieLens data. It's way faster than what I was doing before pumping it in over the wire!

I wanted to have differing properties for users and movies, so the reference line needs to be different. So I parsed the user and movie data into separate node files. The first pass I imported the user nodes with a blank rels file, and then I import the movie nodes with real rels data (I'd calculated the node id with a counter shared across users and movies).

This worked ok left me wondering, is there a better way than this two pass approach with the current implementation?

Just put them all into one nodes file, you can have any attribute not having a value in a certain row, it will then just be skipped.

Can you share your setup for movielens anywhere? E.g. in a blog post or github project?

Thanks!

Thanks for the answer, that's helpful.

Once I've sorted my way though things, I'll post a gist or repo. I'll let you know!
