1) 获取路径可能重复的国家/地区数组:REDUCE
2) 去除重复并比较数组大小:UNWIND + COLLECT(DISTINCT...)
MATCH path = (start:Person)-[:FRIENDSHIP*1..20]->(person:Person)
WHERE start.id = 128 AND start.country <> "Uganda"
WITH path,
REDUCE(acc=[], n IN NODES(path) | acc + n.country) AS countries
UNWIND countries AS country
WITH path,
countries, COLLECT(DISTINCT country) AS distinctCountries
WHERE SIZE(countries) = SIZE(distinctCountries)
RETURN path
附: REDUCE 可以替换为 EXTRACT(感谢 Gabor Szarnyas):
MATCH path = (start:Person)-[:FRIENDSHIP*1..20]->(person:Person)
WHERE start.id = 128 AND start.country <> "Uganda"
WITH path,
EXTRACT(n IN NODES(path) | n.country) AS countries
UNWIND countries AS country
WITH path,
countries, COLLECT(DISTINCT country) AS distinctCountries
WHERE SIZE(countries) = SIZE(distinctCountries)
RETURN path
附言再次感谢 Gabor Szarnyas 提出的简化查询的另一个想法:
MATCH path = (start:Person)-[:FRIENDSHIP*1..20]->(person:Person)
WHERE start.id = 128 AND start.country <> "Uganda"
WITH path
UNWIND NODES(path) AS person
WITH path,
COLLECT(DISTINCT person.country) as distinctCountries
WHERE LENGTH(path) + 1 = SIZE(distinctCountries)
RETURN path
