title: Neo4j import-tool succeeds but results are not showing up
body: <p>I recently started using the import tool for faster load times, and so far the results were promising, except that they are not reflected in my database afterwards through cypher.</p>
  
  <p>My process:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/bin/neo4j stop
  $ rm -rf /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/data/
  $ mkdir /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/data
  $ /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/bin/neo4j-import --nodes:record /path/to/records.csv --into /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>tmp.csv:</p>
  
  <pre><code>meta:ID,time:long,lat:float,lon:float

  <p>Excellent, everything looks great so far. So now I start up neo4j:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/bin/neo4j start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I attempt to get the count of records:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/bin/neo4j-shell -c 'MATCH (r:record) RETURN count(r) as count;'
  
  +----------+
  | count(r) |
  +----------+
  | 0        |
  +----------+
  1 row
  42 ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That was strange, so I thought maybe the label wasn't registered or something? So instead I tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/bin/neo4j-shell -c 'MATCH (r) RETURN count(r) as count;'
  
  
  +----------+
  | count(r) |
  +----------+
  | 0        |
  +----------+
  1 row
  28 ms
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is really weird. My next thought was maybe the directory is being weird? So I tested the size of <code>/path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/data</code>:</p>
  
  <p>Before:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ du -sh /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/data
  4K
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ du -sh /path/to/neo4j-community-3.0.3/data
  53M
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Its definitely in there! I have no clue if I just missed a crucial step. Anyw idea whats going on?</p>
