Specify Indexes on node properties during neo4j-import

Is it possible in using the neo4j import tool to specify properties of nodes that will need an index created on them? Currently, I import then run a set of Create Index on :somelable(someproperty) statements, but this isn't the fastest with large data sets.

You should explain what is not fast, i.e. the queries and the resulting query-plan (you can get it by prefixing your query with PROFILE). - Michael Hunger
@MichaelHunger Maybe 'fast' is the wrong word choice. I mean the multi step process with a number of different indexes to create isn't optimal. Ideally you'd be able to provide a file at import time with the indexes you want like neo4j-import --nodes node.csv --indexes indexlist.txt - Ray

The answer is no, as of v2.2.3. When you use the super fast import tool (neo4j-import), you must setup Indexes once you've imported the nodes and relationships.
