Bulk data loading procedures

We recommend two methods for bulk loading graph data sets into an Aerospike database, depending on the size of your dataset.

• For small datasets (less than 50 GB), we recommend the Standalone Bulk Loader. This method is optimized for simplicity of use and is useful for testing and experimentation.

• For larger datasets, we recommend the Distributed Bulk Loader. This bulk loader requires an Apache Spark cluster for distributed processing.
