Storing binary large object data

While Neo4j does offer primitive storage types, resist the urge to store binary large object (BLOB) data. BLOB data storage leads to large property values. Neo4j stores property values in a single file.^[1] Large property values take a while to read, which can slow down all queries seeking property data (not just the BLOBs). To suit projects with requirements to store BLOB data, a more appropriate data store should be selected.
