Github user okram commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/485 I do like `Traversal.metadata()`. However, I think that metadata should be stored at the root traversal only. Thus, its a global blackboard. Next, given that its an `Admin` method, it should just use standard Java method naming -- `Traversal.getMetadata()`, `Traversal.setMetadata()`. If the traversal is NOT the root, then it walks the tree to get the metadata from the root. If we do the metadata-thang in this ticket, we should update all the MARKER strategies -- AdjacentToIncident and SubgraphStrategy. (prolly some other?). I think your `NoBarrier` work should really just be inlined into `LazyBarrierStragegy` and `PathRetractionStrategy`. Checkout how `LazyBarrierStrategy` has this notion of labeled paths and path processor ... its a "switch" to say whether or not to barrier.
