Optimizing Parallel Relationship Loading in Graph Databases: The Mix and Batch Technique - 3 of 4

Zero deadlocks. 10x throughput. Multi-day loading jobs collapsed to hours. We achieved all of this by treating a database concurrency problem as a graph coloring problem. The technique is called Mix and Batch, and it turns the worst part of parallel relationship loading in Neo4j — the deadlock spiral that gets exponentially worse at scale — into a mathematically solved non-issue. Where retry-based approaches were choking at 400 relationships per second on 10M-edge datasets, Mix and Batch sustained 22,000 rel/s with zero deadlock exceptions.

The trick was to stop fighting lock contention and instead make it structurally impossible.

The Problem: Deadlocks That Scale Exponentially#

Every relationship in a graph database touches two nodes. Creating the Alice-to-Bob edge locks both Alice and Bob. Creating the Bob-to-Alice edge also locks both — but in the opposite order. Two threads, two locks, opposite acquisition order. Classic deadlock.

At small scale, you barely notice. At 10K relationships with 4 threads, the deadlock rate sits around 0.1%. But the math gets ugly fast.

Here is what a deadlock looks like in practice:

# Thread 1 is creating a relationship from Alice to Bob
def thread_1_operation(session):
# This locks the 'Alice' node first
session.run("""
MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})
MATCH (b:Person {name: 'Bob'})
CREATE (a)-[:KNOWS]->(b)
""")
# Thread 2 is creating a relationship from Bob to Alice
def thread_2_operation(session):
# This locks the 'Bob' node first
session.run("""
MATCH (b:Person {name: 'Bob'})
MATCH (a:Person {name: 'Alice'})
CREATE (b)-[:KNOWS]->(a)
""")
# Result: Thread 1 locks Alice, waits for Bob
# Thread 2 locks Bob, waits for Alice
# DEADLOCK!

The Exponential Scaling Cliff#

We tracked deadlock rates across four production dataset sizes. The numbers tell the story:

Dataset SizeParallel ThreadsDeadlock RateEffective Throughput
10K relationships40.1%95% of theoretical
100K relationships82.5%75% of theoretical
1M relationships1615%40% of theoretical
10M relationships3245%10% of theoretical

At 10M relationships — exactly where graph databases should prove their worth — you spend more time recovering from deadlocks than creating relationships. Effective throughput collapses to 10% of what the hardware can deliver.

Three Approaches We Tried (and Why They Failed)#

Sequential processing was safe but brutally slow. No parallelism means no deadlocks, but loading 10M relationships one at a time took days.

# Safe but painfully slow
def load_relationships_sequential(relationships, session):
for source, target, rel_type in relationships:
session.run("""
MATCH (s {id: $source})
MATCH (t {id: $target})
CREATE (s)-[r:$type]->(t)
""", source=source, target=target, type=rel_type)

Retry with exponential backoff seemed reasonable at first. Catch the deadlock, wait, try again.

def create_relationship_with_retry(source, target, rel_type, session, max_retries=5):
for attempt in range(max_retries):
try:
session.run("""
MATCH (s {id: $source})
MATCH (t {id: $target})
CREATE (s)-[r:$type]->(t)
""", source=source, target=target, type=rel_type)
return True
except DeadlockException:
time.sleep(2 ** attempt) # Exponential backoff
return False

At scale, this turned our parallel system into a sequential one with extra steps and wasted compute cycles. The exponential backoff delays compounded, and at a 45% deadlock rate, most threads spent most of their time sleeping.

Simple batching reduced transaction overhead but did nothing about the fundamental conflict. Batches still deadlocked against each other.

def batch_create_relationships(relationships, batch_size=1000):
for i in range(0, len(relationships), batch_size):
batch = relationships[i:i+batch_size]
# This can still deadlock with other batches!
create_batch(batch)

KEY INSIGHT: Retries and backoff treat deadlocks as random failures to recover from. But in parallel graph loading, deadlocks are a structural inevitability — the only real fix is to make conflicting lock acquisition impossible in the first place.

Mix and Batch: Graph Coloring Meets Database Loading#

The breakthrough came from reframing the problem. We stopped asking “how do we recover from deadlocks?” and started asking “how do we guarantee no two concurrent operations ever touch the same node?”

The answer turned out to be graph coloring — a well-studied area of graph theory. By partitioning nodes into groups and organizing relationships into batches where no batch contains conflicts, we can parallelize aggressively within each batch with zero chance of deadlock.

Figure 1: The Mix and Batch four-phase pipeline — Raw relationships flow through node partitioning, partition coding, strategic batch organization, and finally deadlock-free parallel execution.

The Four Phases#

Phase 1: Node Partitioning. Every node gets assigned to exactly one partition using a deterministic function. Numeric IDs use modulo, string IDs use a hash. The key property: the same node always lands in the same partition.

def partition_nodes(relationships, num_partitions=10):
"""
Assign each node to a partition using a deterministic function.
"""
node_partitions = {}
# Extract all unique nodes
nodes = set()
for source, target, _ in relationships:
nodes.add(source)
nodes.add(target)
# Assign partitions
for node_id in nodes:
# Use modulo for numeric IDs, hash for strings
if isinstance(node_id, (int, float)):
partition = int(node_id) % num_partitions
else:
partition = hash(str(node_id)) % num_partitions
node_partitions[node_id] = partition
return node_partitions

Phase 2: Partition Coding. Each relationship gets a code based on its source and target partitions. A relationship from a node in partition 3 to a node in partition 7 gets the code “3-7”. Two relationships with the same partition code touch the same partition pair and could conflict.

def create_partition_codes(relationships, node_partitions):
"""
Assign a partition code to each relationship.
"""
partition_codes = {}
for idx, (source, target, _) in enumerate(relationships):
source_partition = node_partitions[source]
target_partition = node_partitions[target]
# Create partition code
partition_code = f"{source_partition}-{target_partition}"
partition_codes[idx] = partition_code
return partition_codes

Phase 3: Strategic Batching. Here is where the graph coloring insight pays off. We organize relationships into batches using a diagonal pattern across the partition grid, guaranteeing that no two relationships in the same batch share a partition on either end.

Figure 2: Partition-based batch organization — Each batch contains relationships from non-overlapping partition pairs. Within any single batch, no two relationships can compete for the same node lock.

def organize_batches(partition_codes, num_partitions=10):
"""
Organize relationships into non-conflicting batches.
"""
# Group relationships by partition code
code_to_indices = defaultdict(list)
for idx, code in partition_codes.items():
code_to_indices[code].append(idx)
batches = []
# Create batches using diagonal pattern
for offset in range(num_partitions):
batch = []
for i in range(num_partitions):
j = (i + offset) % num_partitions
code = f"{i}-{j}"
if code in code_to_indices:
batch.extend(code_to_indices[code])
if batch:
batches.append(batch)
return batches

Phase 4: Parallel Execution. Batches run sequentially, but within each batch, we unleash full parallelism. Every thread in a batch operates on a disjoint set of partitions, so lock contention is zero by construction.

def process_batches(batches, relationships, neo4j_driver, num_workers=8):
"""
Process batches with guaranteed deadlock-free parallelism.
"""
total_created = 0
for batch_num, batch in enumerate(batches):
print(f"Processing batch {batch_num + 1}/{len(batches)}")
# Within this batch, we can parallelize safely!
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=num_workers) as executor:
futures = []
# Split batch into chunks for workers
chunk_size = max(1, len(batch) // num_workers)
for i in range(0, len(batch), chunk_size):
chunk = batch[i:i + chunk_size]
chunk_rels = [relationships[idx] for idx in chunk]
future = executor.submit(create_relationships_chunk,
chunk_rels, neo4j_driver)
futures.append(future)
# Collect results
for future in as_completed(futures):
total_created += future.result()
return total_created

KEY INSIGHT: The diagonal pattern across a partition grid is the same math behind round-robin tournament scheduling. Each “round” (batch) pairs every partition with a unique partner, so no partition appears twice in the same round. Decades of combinatorics research, applied to database loading.

Putting It to Work#

Here is how you wire up the loader against a live Neo4j instance:

# Initialize Neo4j driver
from neo4j import GraphDatabase
driver = GraphDatabase.driver("bolt://localhost:7687",
auth=("neo4j", "password"))
# Prepare your relationships
relationships = [
("user_1", "product_100", "PURCHASED", {"date": "2024-01-01"}),
("user_2", "product_101", "VIEWED", {"timestamp": 1234567890}),
# ... millions more
]
# Create loader
loader = MixAndBatchLoader(driver, num_partitions=10, concurrency=8)
# Load relationships
created, metrics = loader.load_relationships(relationships)
print(f"Created {created} relationships")
print(f"Performance: {metrics['relationships_per_second']:.0f} rel/s")
print(f"Partitioning: {metrics['partitioning_time']:.2f}s")
print(f"Batching: {metrics['batching_time']:.2f}s")
print(f"Execution: {metrics['execution_time']:.2f}s")

Adapting to Graph Structure: Bipartite vs. Monopartite#

Not all graphs have the same topology, and Mix and Batch benefits from knowing which kind you have.

Figure 3: Bipartite vs. monopartite graph structure — In bipartite graphs, relationships only cross between two distinct node sets. In monopartite graphs, any node can connect to any other. The distinction drives different batching optimizations.

Bipartite Graphs: The Easy Case#

When relationships only flow between two distinct sets (users to products, documents to entities), we can exploit that structure. Since no within-set relationships exist, partition codes naturally separate into cross-set pairs, and we get denser, more balanced batches.

def organize_bipartite_batches(self, partition_codes, set_a_partitions, set_b_partitions):
"""
Optimized batching for bipartite graphs.
"""
# We know relationships only go from Set A to Set B
# This allows for more efficient batching
batches = []
num_a = len(set_a_partitions)
num_b = len(set_b_partitions)
# Create batches that maximize parallelism
for offset in range(max(num_a, num_b)):
batch = []
for i in range(num_a):
j = (i + offset) % num_b
code = f"A{i}-B{j}"
if code in code_to_indices:
batch.extend(code_to_indices[code])
if batch:
batches.append(batch)
return batches

Monopartite Graphs: Handling Bidirectional Relationships#

Monopartite graphs are trickier. A relationship from partition 3 to partition 7 and a relationship from partition 7 to partition 3 both touch the same pair of partitions. We handle this by normalizing partition codes so that (3,7) and (7,3) map to the same group, then batching on the normalized codes.

def organize_monopartite_batches(self, partition_codes, num_partitions):
"""
Optimized batching for monopartite graphs with bidirectional relationships.
"""
# Group relationships by normalized partition codes
normalized_codes = defaultdict(list)
for idx, code in partition_codes.items():
parts = code.split('-')
source_p, target_p = int(parts[0]), int(parts[1])
# Normalize code to handle bidirectional relationships
normalized = f"{min(source_p, target_p)}-{max(source_p, target_p)}"
normalized_codes[normalized].append(idx)
# Create batches ensuring no conflicts
batches = []
for k in range(num_partitions):
batch = []
for i in range(num_partitions):
j = (i + k) % num_partitions
code = f"{min(i, j)}-{max(i, j)}"
if code in normalized_codes:
batch.extend(normalized_codes[code])
if batch:
batches.append(batch)
return batches

Benchmark Results: Where Mix and Batch Wins (and Where It Doesn’t)#

We benchmarked Mix and Batch against sequential loading and retry-based approaches across four dataset sizes.

Figure 4: Throughput comparison across dataset sizes — Sequential loading holds steady but slow. Retry-based approaches collapse under rising deadlock rates. Mix and Batch accelerates as data grows because larger batches exploit more parallelism.

Dataset SizeSequentialRetry-BasedMix and BatchImprovement
10K relationships2,500 rel/s2,200 rel/s2,000 rel/s0.8x
100K relationships2,400 rel/s1,500 rel/s7,500 rel/s3.1x
1M relationships2,300 rel/s800 rel/s18,000 rel/s7.8x
10M relationships2,200 rel/s400 rel/s22,000 rel/s10.0x

The honest result: at 10K relationships, Mix and Batch is actually slower than sequential. The partitioning and batch organization overhead costs more than it saves when deadlocks are rare. The crossover point sits around 50K relationships, and from there the gap widens relentlessly.

The scaling behavior reveals why. Sequential throughput stays flat because it never parallelizes. Retry-based throughput degrades because deadlock probability grows with concurrency. Mix and Batch throughput increases because larger datasets fill batches more evenly, giving each parallel worker a bigger slice of conflict-free work.

KEY INSIGHT: Profile your workload before committing to Mix and Batch. Below 50K relationships, the partitioning overhead outweighs the parallelism gains. Above that threshold, the technique delivers compounding returns — and at 10M+ relationships, nothing else comes close.

Real-World Deployments#

Enterprise Knowledge Graph: 36 Hours Down to 4#

A Fortune 500 technology company was loading 50 million relationships from enterprise documents into their knowledge graph. The job took 36 hours, which meant updates could only run on weekends. Their deadlock rate hovered at 23%.

After switching to Mix and Batch, processing time dropped to under 4 hours. Deadlock rate: 0%. They moved from weekly batch updates to daily refreshes, and the faster turnaround opened up near-real-time use cases that had been impossible before.

Social Network Analytics: Taming Supernodes#

A social media analytics company building relationship graphs from billions of user interactions hit a specific variant of the deadlock problem: influencer nodes. A handful of nodes with millions of connections dominated the lock contention. Standard Mix and Batch helped, but we added supernode detection to isolate these high-degree nodes into their own processing path.

def handle_supernodes(self, relationships, threshold=1000):
"""
Special handling for highly connected nodes.
"""
# Count connections per node
node_degree = defaultdict(int)
for source, target, _, _ in relationships:
node_degree[source] += 1
node_degree[target] += 1
# Identify supernodes
supernodes = {node for node, degree in node_degree.items()
if degree > threshold}
# Separate supernode relationships
supernode_rels = []
regular_rels = []
for rel in relationships:
if rel[0] in supernodes or rel[1] in supernodes:
supernode_rels.append(rel)
else:
regular_rels.append(rel)
# Process with different strategies
return regular_rels, supernode_rels

The result: 15x throughput improvement. Processing time dropped from hours to minutes. Real-time social graph updates became feasible.

GraphRAG Pipeline Integration#

Mix and Batch has become the standard relationship loading stage in our GraphRAG pipelines. Between entity extraction and the graph store, the loader handles the critical bottleneck of writing millions of extracted relationships without choking the database.

Figure 5: Mix and Batch in a GraphRAG architecture — The technique sits between the extraction phase and the graph store, handling the parallel write bottleneck that would otherwise throttle the entire pipeline.

Advanced Tuning#

Dynamic Partition Count#

The optimal number of partitions depends on your data. Denser graphs benefit from more partitions (finer-grained conflict avoidance), while sparser graphs waste overhead on too many empty partition pairs.

def calculate_optimal_partitions(self, relationships):
"""
Dynamically determine optimal partition count.
"""
num_nodes = len(self._extract_node_ids(relationships))
num_relationships = len(relationships)
# Estimate relationship density
density = num_relationships / (num_nodes ** 2) if num_nodes > 0 else 0
# More partitions for denser graphs
if density > 0.1:
return min(32, max(16, int(num_nodes ** 0.25)))
elif density > 0.01:
return min(16, max(8, int(num_nodes ** 0.25)))
else:
return min(10, max(4, int(num_nodes ** 0.25)))

Streaming for Memory-Constrained Environments#

When relationships arrive as a stream or exceed available memory, we chunk the input and run Mix and Batch on each chunk independently.

def process_relationships_streaming(self, relationship_iterator, batch_size=100000):
"""
Process relationships in a streaming fashion for memory efficiency.
"""
buffer = []
total_created = 0
for rel in relationship_iterator:
buffer.append(rel)
if len(buffer) >= batch_size:
# Process this chunk
created, _ = self.load_relationships(buffer)
total_created += created
buffer = []
# Don't forget the last chunk
if buffer:
created, _ = self.load_relationships(buffer)
total_created += created
return total_created

Production Monitoring#

In production, we track batch efficiency and partition distribution to detect skew or configuration drift.

def get_diagnostics(self):
"""
Provide detailed diagnostics for performance tuning.
"""
return {
"partition_distribution": self._analyze_partition_distribution(),
"batch_efficiency": self._calculate_batch_efficiency(),
"deadlock_count": 0, # Always zero with Mix and Batch!
"average_batch_size": sum(len(b) for b in self.batches) / len(self.batches),
"parallelism_factor": self.concurrency * len(self.batches),
"theoretical_speedup": self._calculate_theoretical_speedup()
}

What We Learned#

Mix and Batch works because it solves the right problem. Instead of managing deadlocks after they happen, it makes them structurally impossible through partition-based batch organization. The four-phase pipeline — partition nodes, code relationships, organize batches, execute in parallel — adds modest overhead that pays for itself many times over once datasets cross the 50K relationship threshold.

The technique scales in the right direction. While retry-based approaches degrade exponentially with dataset size, Mix and Batch improves because larger datasets produce denser, better-balanced batches. At 10M relationships, the 10x throughput advantage is the difference between a system that runs overnight and one that finishes during lunch.

Three practical guidelines came out of our production deployments. First, match your partition count to your graph density — too few and you get partition-level hotspots, too many and you waste overhead on empty pairs. Second, identify and isolate supernodes before they poison your partition balance. Third, always benchmark at your target scale, because the crossover behavior means small-scale tests can be misleading.

In Part 4, we put all of these techniques under a benchmark microscope and share the production numbers.
