Summary: API Alignment Between Java Gremlin Graph Structure and
GLVs
Key: TINKERPOP-1474
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1474
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Adam Holmberg
The current Java GraphSON implementation and that in the Python GLV leave some
question about what *should* be returned from a simple traversal like `g.V()`.
The java implementation presently assumes that properties could be present and
returns a DetachedVertex:
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/gremlin-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/structure/io/graphson/GraphSONSerializersV2d0.java#L420-L433
The python implementation assumes no such thing and returns something more
reminiscent of a ReferenceVertex:
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/gremlin-python/src/main/jython/gremlin_python/structure/io/graphson.py#L238-L242
Is the java version overreaching, and should not expect properties unless a
step calls for them (e.g. ` g.V().valueMap()` or `g.V().values('name')`, or
should the Python version be expanded?
Is there something we can do to establish guidelines for this, and align these
APIs?
