Liquibase auto-creates Node Key constraints on Community edition, causing failure #55
Description
I am using DozerDB 5.26.3.0 with Neo4j Community Edition and trying to run Liquibase migrations.
I use:
docker run -p7474:7474 -p7687:7687
-v "$env:USERPROFILE\neo4j\data:/data" -v "$env:USERPROFILE\neo4j\logs:/logs"
-v "$env:USERPROFILE\neo4j\import:/var/lib/neo4j/import" -v "$env:USERPROFILE\neo4j\plugins:/plugins"
--env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/password --env NEO4J_PLUGINS='[\"apoc\"]'
--env NEO4J_apoc_export_file_enabled=true --env NEO4J_apoc_import_file_enabled=true
--env NEO4J_dbms_security_procedures_unrestricted="*" `
graphstack/dozerdb:5.26.3.0
Observed Behavior:
DozerDB automatically creates hidden Liquibase tracking nodes (like __LiquibaseChangeSet, __LiquibaseTag, __LiquibaseLabel)
These nodes use Node Key constraints for uniqueness.
Neo4j CE does not support Node Key constraints, causing a critical database panic:
I also provide logs for better understanding
