Idempotent Bulk Ingestion into NebulaGraph from .NET: Solving the Duplicate Problem at the VID Level

Duplicates in a graph database are a key-design problem, not a row-uniqueness problem. This article shows how to engineer idempotency into NebulaGraph imports from .NET by controlling VIDs, edge ranks, and batch checkpointing.
