Summary: Refactor custom type translation for ScriptTranslators
Key: TINKERPOP-2072
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2072
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: groovy
Affects Versions: 3.3.4
Reporter: stephen mallette
Assignee: stephen mallette
Refactor the `TypeTranslator` system a bit so that it is better designed for
extension rather than the "plugin" style system that exists now. The current
method seems to work but it's a bit awkward in that it introduces some circular
logic if a custom translator needs to refer back to the default one. In the
worst case it means embedding {{GroovyTranslator}} itself in the
{{TypeTranslator}}.
Anyway, this is a breaking change because it completely alters the old method
for handling this. On the plus side, this is a very low-level and internal
feature that is only of interest to graph providers so it shouldn't break too
much code out there.
