Summary

  • clarify on the generic admin configuration page that neo4j-admin database import uses --max-off-heap-memory rather than server.memory.pagecache.size for import memory sizing
  • add an Import memory controls subsection to the import page
  • explain that Configured max memory in import output is the effective off-heap memory budget
  • update the full and incremental option tables to make --max-off-heap-memory the explicit tuning knob for import memory

Validation

  • git diff --check
  • npm run build:preview
