Bulk loader still OOM during reduce phase

Around 100K would be a lot but also OK.

If you have a lot of the same kind of relationship then to take advantage of Dgraph you don’t want to encode unique information in the predicate name itself. As an example, don’t do this:

<0x1> <To.ID.123> <0x2> .
<0x3> <To.ID.456> <0x4> .
<0x5> <To.ID.789> <0x6> .

It’s better to store this unique ID information (ID.123, ID.456, ID.789) as a value of the edge instead of in the edge name itself:

<0x1> <ID> "123" .
<0x1> <To> <0x2> .
<0x3> <ID> "456" .
<0x3> <To> <0x4> .
<0x5> <ID> "789" .
<0x5> <To> <0x6> .

Instead of thousands of <For.ID.XYZ> predicates there are two: <ID> and <To>.
