spring-boo/neo4j Concurrent Save leads to deadlock_问答_开发者

General Problem

I have a Node that has a Parent/Child relationship to itself (Same Label/Class). I can add a new Relathiship to a new Child node by adding the Parent Node to Parents-Relationship list (see code below). This works for saving one entity, when trying to Save the relationship for different Children of the same Parent I receive a deadlock-error (TransientDataAccessResourceException).

Setup

Maven Project

Spring-Boot (spring-boot-starter-parent 2.6.13)
Neo4J: spring-boot-starter-data-neo4j
Project Lombok
Java 11

Database: Docker-Container

docker run --name eval.neo4j -d -v eval.neo4j-data:/data -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 neo4j

Config

spring:
  neo4j:
    uri: bolt://localhost:7687
    authentication:
      username: neo4j
      password: admin

Java Code

Node


@Getter
@Setter
@Node("Example")
@NoArgsConstructor
public class ExampleNode {

    private static final String CHILD_OF = "CHILD_OF";

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private Long id;

    @Version
    private Long version;

    @Property
    private String name;

    @Relationship(type= CHILD_OF, direction = Relationship.Direction.OUTGOING)
    private Set<ExampleNode> parents;

    @Relationship(type= CHILD_OF, direction = Relationship.Direction.INCOMING)
    private Set<ExampleNode> children;

    public ExampleNode(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public void addParent(ExampleNode parent) {
        if (parents == null) {
            parents = new HashSet<>();
        }
        parents.add(parent);
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "ExampleNode{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", version=" + version +
                ", name='" + name + '\'' +
                ", parents=" + (parents == null ? 0: parents.size()) +
                ", children=" + (children == null ? 0 : children.size()) +
                '}';
    }
}

Repository:


@Transactional
public interface ExampleRepository extends CrudRepository<ExampleNode, Long> {
}

CRUD Service

@Slf4j
@Service
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ExampleService {

    private final ExampleRepository repository;

    @Transactional
    public Long create(String name, Long parentId) {
        ExampleNode entity = new ExampleNode(name);
        if (parentId != null) {
            entity.addParent(repository.findById(parentId).orElseThrow());
        }
        ExampleNode response = repository.save(entity);
        log.info("Created {}", response);
        return response.getId();
    }

    @Async
    public Future<Long> createAsync(String name, Long parentId) {
        return new AsyncResult<>(create(name, parentId));
    }

    public ExampleNode read(Long id) {
        return repository.findById(id).orElse(null);
    }

}

App with CommandLineRunner (for simplicity - the actual implementation uses RestController with spring-mvc

@Slf4j
@EnableAsync
@SpringBootApplication
public class ExampleApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ExampleApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    CommandLineRunner runner(ExampleService service) {
        return (args) -> {
            Long p1 = service.create("Parent-1", null);
            Long p2 = service.create("Parent-2", null);
           
            // works for synchronous calls or when synchronizing
            // before the first call. async is used to simulate
            // concurrent executions i.E. via rest-calls
            final Future<Long> one = service.createAsync("one", p1);
            final Future<Long> two = service.createAsync("two", p1);

            Long id1 = one.get(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            Long id2 = two.get(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
            log.info("load parents {} {}", service.read(p1), service.read(p2));
            log.info("load children {}: {}, {}:{}", id1, service.read(id1), id2, service.read(id2));
        };
    }
}

Problem

Saving the second Child node seems to be locked by the first (or the other way around). I thought this would be resolved by the transaction annotation. I am also worried about NODE_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP_DELETE in the log-output - this seems to indicate that the first child will be removed when saving the second. I was unable to find a simple spring-like solution for only saving the node and the relationship without touching the parent-node, since the parent node properties are unchanged.

Thank you for your Help :)
