Unable to import "graph.db" in Neo4j 4.0.4

I wonder if hetionet-v1.0.db.tar.bz2 is too old to be imported into Neo4j 4.0. That database was exported from Neo4j 3.0.1

From https://neo4j.com/docs/migration-guide/4.0/important-information/#supported-upgrade-paths:

The following upgrade path is supported: 3.5.any → 4.0.x

Is it possible to see the neo4j logs when trying to load the database? Those would make it easier to diagnose the issue.

The log output above looks okay to me. I don't see anything in it about loading the database.

For me to help further, I'll need to know a little bit about your setup. Can you describe the steps you took to install & launch neo4j and load Hetionet database?

[jshubhangi2697]

I followed the instructions given :

Make sure the Neo4j server is stopped. Navigate to the data/databases directory inside the Neo4j directory and run:

# Backup graph.db directory if it exists
if [ -d "graph.db" ]; then
  mv graph.db graph.db.backup_`date +%F`
fi

# Download and extract graph.db for Hetionet v1.0
curl --location https://github.com/hetio/hetionet/raw/master/hetnet/neo4j/hetionet-v1.0.db.tar.bz2 | tar --extract --bzip2

After this in the config file I changed the default db to "graph"

I looked into upgrading our docker image to use Neo4j 4.0 in #33. I ran into an error that is unrelated to this. But until that error is fixed (or at least I can find additional info on it), I don't plan on working on Neo4j 4.0 support for the Hetionet database.

In a95ae76, I updated the README to link to "Running the docker". Docker is another way to launch the database. It should work similarly across systems, so requires less user-specific support. Perhaps this will be sufficient for your needs.
