Basic query tuning example
This page describes how to profile a query by using optimizations based on native index capabilities.
The data set
In this section, examples demonstrates the impact native indexes can have on query performance under certain conditions. You will use a movies dataset to illustrate this more advanced query tuning.

-
movies.csv
-
actors.csv
-
directors.csv
Movies
The movies.csv file contains two columns title

Prerequisites
The example uses the Linux or macOS tarball installation. It assumes that your current work directory is the <neo4j-home> directory of the tarball installation, and the CSV files are placed in the default import directory.
|
Importing the data
- Import the movies.csv file
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///movies.csv' AS line
MERGE (m:Movie {title: line.title})
ON CREATE SET
m.released = toInteger(line.released),
m.tagline = line.tagline
Added 38 nodes, Set 114 properties, Added 38 labels
- Import the actors.csv file
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///actors.csv' AS line
MATCH (m:Movie {title: line.title})
MERGE (p:Person {name: line.name})
ON CREATE SET p.born = toInteger(line.born)
MERGE (p)-[:ACTED_IN {roles:split(line.roles, ';')}]->(m)
Added 102 nodes, Created 172 relationships, Set 375 properties, Added 102 labels
- Import the directors.csv file
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS FROM 'file:///directors.csv' AS line
MATCH (m:Movie {title: line.title})
MERGE (p:Person {name: line.name})
ON CREATE SET p.born = toInteger(line.born)
MERGE (p)-[:DIRECTED]->(m)
Added 23 nodes, Created 44 relationships, Set 46 properties, Added 23 labels
Profile query
Let’s say you want to write a query to find 'Tom Hanks'.
The naive way of doing this would be to write the following:
MATCH (p {name: 'Tom Hanks'})
RETURN p
p |
---|
|
Rows: 1 |
This query will find the 'Tom Hanks' node but as the number of nodes in the database increase it will become slower and slower. We can profile the query to find out why that is.
You can learn more about the options for profiling queries in Query tuning but in this case you are going to prefix our query with PROFILE
:
PROFILE
MATCH (p {name: 'Tom Hanks'})
RETURN p

The first thing to keep in mind when reading execution plans is that you need to read from the bottom up.
In that vein, starting from the last row, the first thing you notice is that the value in the Rows
column seems high given there is only one node with the name property 'Tom Hanks' in the database.
If you look across to the Operator
column, you will see that AllNodesScan has been used which means that the query planner scanned through all the nodes in the database.
The Filter operator which will check the name
property on each of the nodes passed through by AllNodesScan
.
This seems like an inefficient way of finding 'Tom Hanks' given that you are looking at many nodes that are not even people and therefore are not what you are looking for.
The solution to this problem is that whenever you are looking for a node you should specify a label to help the query planner narrow down the search space.
For this query you need to add a Person
label.
MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Tom Hanks'})
RETURN p
This query will be faster than the first one, but as the number of people in your database increase you may notice that the query slows down.
Again you can profile the query to work out why:
PROFILE
MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Tom Hanks'})
RETURN p
Planner COST Runtime PIPELINED Runtime version 5.25 Batch size 128 +------------------+----+------------------------+----------------+------+---------+----------------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+ | Operator | Id | Details | Estimated Rows | Rows | DB Hits | Memory (Bytes) | Page Cache Hits/Misses | Time (ms) | Pipeline | +------------------+----+------------------------+----------------+------+---------+----------------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+ | +ProduceResults | 0 | p | 6 | 1 | 3 | | | | | | | +----+------------------------+----------------+------+---------+----------------+ | | | | +Filter | 1 | p.name = $autostring_0 | 6 | 1 | 250 | | | | | | | +----+------------------------+----------------+------+---------+----------------+ | | | | +NodeByLabelScan | 2 | p:Person | 125 | 125 | 126 | 120 | 3/0 | 0.772 | Fused in Pipeline 0 | +------------------+----+------------------------+----------------+------+---------+----------------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+ Total database accesses: 379, total allocated memory: 184 1 row
This time the Rows
value on the last row has reduced so you are not scanning some nodes that you were before which is a good start.
The NodeByLabelScan operator indicates that you achieved this by first doing a linear scan of all the Person
nodes in the database.
Once you have done that, you can again scan through all those nodes using the Filter
operator, comparing the name property of each one.
This might be acceptable in some cases but if you are going to be looking up people by name frequently then you will see better performance if you create an index on the name
property for the Person
label:
CREATE INDEX FOR (p:Person)
ON (p.name)
Added 1 indexes
CALL db.awaitIndexes
Now if you run the query again it will run more quickly:
MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Tom Hanks'})
RETURN p
A profile for the query to see why that is:
PROFILE
MATCH (p:Person {name: 'Tom Hanks'})
RETURN p

Our execution plan is down to a single row and uses the Node Index Seek operator which does an index seek (see Create, show, and delete indexes) to find the appropriate node.
