Preparation

Reads entire input data to check for graph schema conformity. Suggests graph schema updates, or if enabled, changes graph schema. Supplies statistics about how much data will be added to graph when loaded.

Vertex Loading

Adds or retrieves all of the vertices in the input data and caches them locally to speed up subsequent edge loading.

Edge and Property Loading

Adds all edges and properties from the input data to the graph.
