Scripts with multiple traversals and multiple timeouts will be interpreted as a sum of all timeouts identified in the script for that request. + +==== Processing results as they are returned from the Gremlin server + + +The Gremlin JavaScript driver maintains a WebSocket connection to the Gremlin server and receives messages according to the `batchSize` parameter on the per request settings or the `resultIterationBatchSize` value configured for the Gremlin server. When submitting scripts the default behavior is to wait for the entire result set to be returned from a query before allowing any processing on the result set. + +The following examples assume that you have 100 vertices in your graph. + +[source,javascript] +---- +const result = await client.submit("g.V()"); +console.log(result.toArray()); // 100 - all the vertices in your graph +---- + +When working with larger result sets it may be beneficial for memory management to process each chunk of data as it is returned from the gremlin server.
