Importing into an Edge collection
arangoimp can be used to import data into an existing edge collection. The import data must, for each edge to import, contain at least the _from and _to attributes
Example:

{ "_from" : "users/1234", "_to" : "users/4321", "desc" : "1234 is connected to 4321" }

Note: The edge collection must already exist when the import is started. Using the –create-collection flag will not work because arangoimp will always try to create a regular document collection if the target collection does not exist.
