Overview

Installs Neo4J (http://www.neo4j.com) on Ubuntu/Debian from their distribution tarballs downloaded directly from their site.

##Setup

All of the setup for any of the configuration is done through via class neo4j. There are default options provided such that you can install Neo4j into /opt/neo4j and start listening on http://your_ip:7474/ by specifying:

include neo4j

To install enterprise edition 2.0.3, you can specify:

class { 'neo4j' :
  version => '2.0.3',
  edition => 'enterprise',
}

See usage scenarios below for further usages.

##Usage

Currently, all of the configurations are done through the class neo4j including clustered Neo4j server.

Here are some example of different configurations that people could use this module to manage their Neo4j instances.

Note: For an explain of parameters and a complete list, please see the reference section below.

Basic Install

class { 'neo4j' :
}

Different Version

All known versions >= 2.0.0 can be installed. For the list of current releases, you can go to http://neo4j.com/download/.

class { 'neo4j' :
  version => '2.0.3',
  edition => 'enterprise',
}

Different Install Path

If you want to install to another directory, use the install_prefix parameter.

class { 'neo4j' :
  install_prefix => '/tmp',
}

Custom JVM Memory Options

class { 'neo4j' :
  jvm_init_memory => '1024',
  jvm_max_memory  => '1024',
}

Cache Options

The cache options can be customized too to allow for better performance scaling. For an explanation and usage of these options, see Neo4j documentation on caching.

class { 'neo4j' :
  nodestore_memory                  => '25M',
  relationshipstore_memory          => '50M',
  propertystore_memory              => '100M',
  propertystore_strings_memory      => '130M',
  propertystore_arrays_memory       => '130M',
  cache_type                        => 'hpc',
  cache_memory_ratio                => '50.0',
  node_cache_array_fraction         => '5',
  relationship_cache_array_fraction => '5',
  node_cache_size                   => '100M',
  relationship_cache_size           => '100M',
}

Authentication and User Management

To force authentication of the data and management entry points, you can use the auth_ensure and include auth_admin_user and auth_admin_password parameters too. The auth_users is optional, but can be used to manage authorized users.

$auth_users = {
  user1 => {
    ensure     => present,
    password   => 'puppet',
    readWrite  => true,
  },
}

class { 'neo4j' :
  auth_ensure         => present,
  auth_admin_user     => 'admin',
  auth_admin_password => 'password',
  auth_users          => $auth_users, #optional
}

New Relic Monitoring

You can also specify to monitor the server with New Relic. Sign-up and monitoring is free from http://www.newrelic.com.

class { 'neo4j' :
  newrelic_jar_path => '/path/to/newrelic.jar',
}
