Daewon Jeong commented on S2GRAPH-170:
--------------------------------------

I reviewed the above draft.

I agree to proceed with refactoring to clarify the interface.
However, I have some comments on this refactoring.

# S2 [Vertex, Edge] Like

'SelfType' is used in the 'S2Vertex` and' S2VertexLike 'as there is a 
bidirectional dependency.

S2VertexLike should be unaware of the existence of S2Vertex because the 
dependency should flow unidirectionally.

To achieve the above goal, `SelfType` should be removed.

p.s: This refactoring seems to be in gradual improvement for compatibility with 
existing code (not to break caller).

> Create Interface for S2Edge/S2Vertex/S2Graph.

> h2. Problem Statement
> S2Graph’s entire code base is dependent on S2Edge/S2Vertex/S2Graph class. 
> Even though lots of code touch theses two class, there is no interface 
> defined currently. This means lots of code is interact with these class in 
> different way all by their own way, and this make extremely hard to make any 
> change on these two classes.
> For example, I was working on S2GRAPH-80 to provide java client, and there 
> are too many places to be changed since all theses places use concrete 
> implementation class S2Edge/S2Vertex/S2Graph, not the interfaces. Not just 
> for S2GRAPH-80, but any other issues that need to change theses classes would 
> benefit by communicating through interface.
> h2. Suggestion
> Define interface and change code base to communicate through theses 
> interfaces.
> # Create interface S2Edge/S2Vertex/S2Graph that implement Tinkerpop’s 
> Edge/Vertex/Graph interface 
> # Extract tinkerpop interface related implementations
> # Change caller of S2Edge/S2Vertex/S2Graph to call interface rather than 
> concrete implementation.
