Reviewing the new 5.0 changes

In version 5.0, multiple changes have been made to the Cypher language. You can read about all these changes at https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/deprecations-additions-removals-compatibility/. We will take a look few of the changes that impact the Cypher queries.

The first important change to note is index creation. In version 5.0, the indexes are separated to represent the different types so that the indexes can be more performant. The indexing types that are available in version 5.0 are listed here:

• Fulltext index: This is the Lucene text index
• Lookup index: This index is for node labels and relationship types
• Range index: This index replaces the B-tree index option and can be used with a single or multiple properties
• Text index: This index is used on string properties
• Point index: This index is used on point types
