About Max Number of Labels

[Bennu]

Hi everyone! Quick question, once I heard a 'legend' about a max number of labels that can be created in a Neo4j Db instance. Does anyone know what's this number right now for 4.1.x instances?

Thanks!

Hi @Bennu,

Is it the one you are looking for https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32300425/limit-of-labels-on-a-node-in-neo4j?

Hi @nghia71,

Unfortunately, it's not. They talk about the maximum number of labels per node, I'm interested on the this limit for the entire DB. This may suggest minimum of Interger.MAX_INTEGER for this upper bound tho.

Hello, the current limit is 4 billion unique labels in the normal store format (when using the high limit format there shouldn't be any restrictions). We'll update the docs on format limits to include this.

By "principle", would it be the same, which is Interger.MAX_INTEGER as you said?
