---------------------------------------------
> so is the goal for the Java GLV to have the Vertex class be removed of its
> Properties methods?
If we're talking about a distant future for TinkerPop 4.x then, yes, there will
only be reference vertices/edges. For now, in TinkerPop 3.x I think we've gone
too far down the path of enabling properties in Java to ever really take them
away. We can only hide them via TINKERPOP-1701 and encourage users to think
property-less. I think we just want to align 3.x with the idea of where things
are headed further in the future. So the discrepancy of properties will
basically remain between java and python, js, etc, but we will likely shift
defaults over time to not include properties for Java (with java users having
the option to go back to including properties if they like as a method of
backward compatibility).

> Key: TINKERPOP-1474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1474
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: io
> Affects Versions: 3.2.2
> Reporter: Adam Holmberg
> Assignee: stephen mallette
>
> 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?
