I want to know " Lets there are 100 nodes with some labels. So how these nodes will be stored in memory. Is it stored in adjacency list?

I honestly doesn't know how data is cached in the java heap and other memory structures. I'm curious why you want to know? You can't control it. Neo4j manages what data is stored in memory and what is read from disk. Just like MS-SQL or Oracle, the application is proprietary how it works. Personally I don't want to have to manage memory management, I expect my application do that for me. For me it's important to understand good modeling and query tuning.
