Neo4j-spring-data(4.1.1) self relationship (parent-child) is duplicated

Question

I am using spring-data-4.1.1 & Neo4j 2.3.2 with ogm annotations

Below is my entity

    @NodeEntity(label = "Component")
    public class Component extends BaseEntity {
    .........

      @Relationship(type = Relation.LINK_TO)
      private Set<Link> links = new HashSet<>();

      @Relationship(type = Relation.PARENT)
      private Set<Component> parents = new HashSet<>();
    .........
    .........


}

And Link class

@RelationshipEntity(type = Relation.LINK_TO)
public class Link extends BaseEntity {

    @Property(name = "isSelfLink")
    private boolean isSelfLink;

    @StartNode
    private Component component;

    @EndNode
    private Component linkComponent;
}

I've removed getter/setter/hashcode/equals for keeping it clean

Now, here is my code to add two component parent/child and a Link

Component parentcomp = new Component(1, name);
Component childcomp =  new Component(2, name);
childcomp.getParents().add(parentcomp);

Link link = new Link();
link.setComponent(parentcomp);
link.setLinkComponent(childcomp);
parentcomp.getLinks().add(link);

componentRepository.save(parentcomp,-1);

Now, as per the logic

1. object parentcomp property 'parent' should be empty
2. object childcomp property 'parent' should have parentcomp object

3. And parentcomp property 'links' should have childcomp

   (parentcomp)----LINKS_TO---->(childcomp)

   (parentcomp)<----PARENT----(childcomp)

Note: My equirement is such that we need two way relationship..

But, below is the result when I load parent or child entity

1. object parentcomp property 'parent' has both childcomp,parentcomp instead of empty
2. object childcomp property 'parent' has both childcomp,parentcomp instead of only parentcomp

This behavior persist until a Neo4j sessions clears out internally. After some time(or after app restart) the mappings shows up correctly.

I tried cleaning up the session using neo4joperations.clear() still problem persists. But if I query

match (c:Component)-[:PARENT]->(p) where c.componentId = {0} return p

results are correct.

I am not sure how to solve this problem...
