Neo4j multiple graphs on one server/cluster

Note: This is similar to the question asked here: Storing multiple graphs in Neo4J - but this question was asked in 2011 and I haven't found a direct answer for Neo4j 3.

Is there a way to configure the properties for Neo4j so that there are multiple graphs available to my application, using a single Neo4j instance?

My use case is that I would like to operate on multiple similar but discrete graphs. The graph I choose to operate on would be decided on the fly and dynamically during the execution of my application. If I try to choose a graph that doesn't exist yet, it should be created. At points in the future, I may decide to delete one of the graphs, and the deletion would happen independently of the other graphs.

A follow up question is: in the linked post from 2011, an answer mentioned using subgraphs. Is a subgraph set up through neo4j properties, and do they contain each their own set of indexes and property elements?

Assuming your graphs are not sharing nodes. You may try to have a specific label for each graph,like g1, g2 .... and add that label to each node.
