Jermy Li commented on TINKERPOP-2318: ------------------------------------- This patch will unify the behavior of property comparison: two properties are equal only if their key&value are equal, even if their parent elements are not equal. It makes sense when comparing properties regardless of parent elements, just focus on the property itself, it would be more uniform and concise. The benefit of this change is that the behavior of property comparison and `dedup()`-step are predictable, and it will not affect the result whether a property detaches the parent element. Note: The "property" here refer to edge property and meta property, excluding vertex property.
