Request Parameters

Table 2 Request body parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

edgesetPath

No

String

Edge file directory or name

edgesetFormat

No

String

Format of the edge data set. Currently, only the CSV format is supported.

The CSV format is used by default.

vertexsetPath

No

String

Vertex file directory or name

vertexsetFormat

No

String

Format of the vertex data set. Currently, only the CSV format is supported.

The CSV format is used by default.

schemaPath

No

String

OBS path of the metadata file of the new data

logDir

No

String

Directory for storing logs of imported graphs. This directory stores the data that fails to be imported during graph creation and detailed error causes.

parallelEdge

No

Object

How to process repetitive edges.

action

No

String

Processing mode of repetitive edges. The value can be allow, ignore, or override. The default value is allow.

  • allow indicates that repetitive edges are allowed.
  • ignore indicates that subsequent repetitive edges are ignored.
  • override indicates that the previous repetitive edges are overwritten.

ignoreLabel

No

Boolean

Whether to ignore labels on repetitive edges. The value can be true or false. The default value is true.

  • true: Indicates that the repetitive edge definition does not contain the label. That is, the <source vertex, target vertex> indicates an edge, excluding the label information.
  • false: Indicates that the repetitive edge definition contains the label. That is, the <source vertex, target vertex, label> indicates an edge.

delimiter

No

Character

Field separator in a CSV file. The default value is comma (,). The default element separator in a field of the list/set type is semicolon (;).

trimQuote

No

Character

Field quote character in a CSV file. The default value is double quotation marks ("). They are used to enclose a field if the field contains separators or line breaks.

offline

No

Boolean

Whether offline import is selected. The value can be true or false. The default value is false.

  • true: Offline import is selected. The import speed is high, but the graph is locked and cannot be read or written during the import.
  • false: Online import is selected. Compared with offline import, online import is slower. However, the graph can be read (cannot be written) during the import.
