Configuration without Header¶

For CSV files without header, you need to set withHeader to false in the configuration file, indicating that the CSV file contains only data (excluding the header of the first row). You may also need to set the data type and corresponding columns.

Sample files¶

The following is an example of a CSV file without header:

sample of vertex

Example data for student_without_header.csv:
```
student100,Monica,16,female
student101,Mike,18,male
student102,Jane,17,female
```
The first column is the vertex ID, followed by the properties name, age, and gender.

sample of edge

Example data for follow_without_header.csv:
```
student100,student101,0,92.5
student101,student100,1,85.6
student101,student102,2,93.2
student100,student102,1,96.2
```
The first two columns are the start vertex ID and destination vertex ID, respectively. The third column is rank, and the fourth column is property degree.

           type: string

                # Property data type.
                type: string

                # Property corresponds to the sequence number of the column in the CSV file.

        withRanking: true

        srcVID:
           # Data type.
           type: string

        # rank setting.
        rank:
           # Rank Indicates the rank number of a column in the CSV file. If index is not set, be sure to set the rank value in the third column. Subsequent columns set each property in turn.
           index: 2

        props:
             # property name.
           - name: degree

             # Data type.
             type: double

             # Property corresponds to the sequence number of the column in the CSV file.
             index: 3

Note

The sequence numbers of the columns in the CSV file start from 0, that is, the sequence numbers of the first column are 0, and the sequence numbers of the second column are 1.

The data type of the vertex ID must be the same as the data type of the statement in clientSettings.postStart.commands that creates the graph space.

If the index field is not specified, the CSV file must comply with the following rules:
- In the vertex data file, the first column must be the vertex ID, followed by the properties, and must correspond to the order in the configuration file.
- In the side data file, the first column must be the start vertex ID, the second column must be the destination vertex ID, if withRanking is true, the third column must be the rank value, and the following columns must be properties, and must correspond to the order in the configuration file.
