I want to find a couple of paths between 2 nodes. I don't just want the shortest path or all paths with the shortest length (allShortestPaths). I need all the shortest paths and the next shortest paths. Since it is not possible to set allShortestPaths with minimal length different from 0/1.
allShortestPaths(...) does not support a minimal length different from 0 or 1
It could be solved with projections or apoc.path.expandConfig, however we have a database with 14 million nodes and 56 million relationships, so when I tried doing this, we could deliver paths with lengths of 4 in 20-30 seconds and lengths of more than 4 was not possible. Is there a way to find a subset of all paths that are shortest, but also fast to execute?
Lets say my source node is A, and target node is C, and I wanted the 3 shortest paths, the 3 paths would then be:
(A-C), (A-B-C), (A-B-E-C)

I figured that yen's algorithm would be very suitable after I tried using projections (which was pretty fast)
