Redisgraph: Multiple relationships of the same relationship type between two nodes

[esokullu]

I know that with the new serialization method, there can only be one edge of the same type between two particular nodes (hat tip @jeffreylovitz) and new ones would overwrite existing ones.

Is there any plans to change this behavior? If so, any timeline when?

Thanks,

@esokullu Yes, there's a plan on allowing multiple edges of the same type between two particular nodes,
with regard to timeline I'm not sure, our roadmap is quite packed as it is, but I'll do my best to accommodate that addition by the end of February.

Hi @swilly22,
Any updates on this?
I know that this is planned for the future, do you, by any chance, have an estimate on a timeline?

Thanks

Hi @jkxplg,
We've been busy working on supporting the WITH clause and free text search,
Multiple relationships of the same relationship type between two nodes being pushed back, I'll update here in case something changes.

In a social network context, this is a very important feature. Think of React (or Comment) as an edge between User and Doc nodes. You'd need multiple React edges so that users can like/comment on the same post multiple times.

That's why I believe this is a crucial feature, that should be a higher priority on your list.

Thank you.

@esokullu, I fully agree on the importance of this ability,
It took us a while to come up with a design with low performance impact, the plan is to start implementing this week, I hope to push a PR in a couple of days.

Thanks you @swilly22 much appreciated! Time to build & use :)
