Hi LDBC community!

I looked at the LDBC benchmark doc but it seems like it is missing some details. I want to understand how entries are/should be ingested to measure performance.

Question details are in the link below. Let me know if you prefer the question to be posted here instead.

This is explained in the specification:

The entities with the \texttt{explicitlyDeleted} attribute -- Comment, Forum, Post nodes, and hasMember, knows, likes (Comment/Post) edges -- denote whether the entity is deleted as part of an explicit delete operation or implicitly through a cascading delete operation.
