i have nodes of the same type but with different properties - those properties come from a database and even nodes of the same type and "sub-type" can have different properties ...

looking at http://github.com/jexp/batch-import, how could i go about nodes that have dynamic properties ?

Asking this cause, as it is stated in the readme, 

Property values not listed will not be set on the nodes or relationships.

Thank you

What it means is you leave the properties you don't want to set empty in the TSV file. Like so:

firstName  middleName  lastName
Christoff    HasNoMiddleName
ThisGuy  HasAMiddleName  AndALastName

will result in nodes like this:

Node[...]({firstName:"Christoff", lastName:"HasNoMiddleName"})
Node[...]({firstName:"ThisGuy", middleName:"HasAMiddleName", lastName:"AndALastName"})
