rogertangcn · 2020-10-14T18:45:22Z

Summary of Changes

This change fixes the issue of Use query parameters rather than string building in Neo4jCsvPublisher

Replace csv package with pandas so that it can infer data type out of csv files
Replace string.Template with jinja2.Template so that it can support conditional tokens.
Use parameters instead of string concatenation to construct cypher statement

Record field types are string when using csv.DictReader which is inadequate when switching to use parameter. It will create issue that property in numeric type in neo4j is suppled with string value.

pandas has ability to infer data type when reading csv. Parameters generated from pandas record for neo4j will have correct type that can prevent the issue.

Replace string.Template with jinja.Template in which if-condition is supported. Putting condition clause in template is to help readability

Also, {{ }} syntax in jinja is different from $VAR syntax in cypher (which is also the syntax for string.Template, source of confusion). The distinction is helpful for readability too.

thanks for the info

The property value is taken out wherein a param token (i.e. $param) is put in.

oh, we no longer set this line?

Right. csv module is no longer used in this module therefore taking it out.

I'm wondering if csv.field_size_limit() is a global setting. If that's the case, it could impact other modules that uses csv though. I will put it back to make sure it's backward compatible. It could be better if it's moved into somewhere that is "global" later.

sounds good, let's keep it here for now and we could remove it later. cc @jinhyukchang
