title: Alternative to batch importer for neo4j for large datasets
body: <p>I am trying to import a large dataset to neo4j. I created a Python script to write the cypher queries into a .cql file after reading a .xls file and then I ran them using the neo4j-shell. This worked for a small dataset. But on increasing the size of dataset my system crashed for the same.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen few suggestions to use batch importers but they are usually based in Java (eg:Groovy) and it's something I'm not comfortable using. So is there any alternative to batch inserting or at least batch inserting via Python?</p>
