Neo4j BatchInserter with auto-indexing feature

I am currently using neo4j BatchInserter to massively create a big graph. Following the examples I chose to use the Lucene Index for the indexing of the nodes. As far as I know neo4j provides an auto-indexing feature. Is this feature available also for batch insertion? If yes will it speed up the procedure?

No, auto indexing is not supported for batch inserter. However you can manually write to a index called 'node_auto_index' - which populates the auto index manually. Indexing will not speed up batch insert, in opposite indexing always trades write for read performance.
