Github user spmallette commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/882 I will try to find some time to do TINKERPOP-1991 and see what is involved. If it's a mess then maybe we don't try to shove TINKERPOP-1991 into 3.4.0 and await 3.5.0 then just merge `shortestPath()` and `connectedComponent()` for 3.4.0. I'd say that if we get stuck without TINKERPOP-1991 we probably shouldn't add anymore algorithms until 3.5.0 so as to not further pollute the core Gremlin space. thinky think....
