To Reproduce
CALL gds.alpha.hits.mutate() or CALL gds.alpha.hits.write()

GDS version: 2.4.4
Neo4j version: 5.11.0 ENTERPRISE
Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Project the graph. node count ~400000, relationship count ~1200000,
• Run CALL gds.alpha.hits.write() or CALL gds.alpha.hits.mutate()

Expected behavior
Query completes successfully without an error

Current behavior
The following error is returned
ClientError: [Procedure.ProcedureCallFailed] Failed to invoke procedure gds.alpha.hits.write: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert AUTO of type org.neo4j.gds.beta.pregel.Partitioning to AnyValue, classloader=jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader@5ffd2b27, classloader-name=app

Hello @martynscn, I can confirm that I managed to reproduce this issue, will let you know when a fix has been released.

Hello @martynscn, GDS 2.4.6 has been released and it contains the fix, can you please test it and close the issue.

Hi @vnickolov and @martynscn,

i'm curious if there would also be a new 2.5.0 preview version including this (and other) fixes.
Tag 2.5.0-alpha03 also seems to have this bug. I fully understand if this is not possible because a preview isn't meant to have any kind of fixes/support. Just asking since I'm already playing around with the preview version :-).

Hi @vnickolov and @JohT, I just tested this in Neo4j version = 5.11.0 and GDS version = 2.5.6 with the command CALL gds.hits.write() and it now works well. Thank you for the fix
