--------------------------------------------
Summary: Support case-insensitive predicates
Key: TINKERPOP-2508
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2508
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.4.9
Reporter: Christopher Smith
[As noted|https://stackoverflow.com/a/58103202/1189885], Gremlin has no native
means to express case-insensitive text predicates. While I understand the
caution shown in not running ahead of the capabilities in various backends, the
inability to express even a simple case-insensitive prefix search natively is a
major impediment when using platforms like Neptune that entirely disallow
lambda operations. Even if the search were entirely unindexed, it would be
drastically more efficient to execute a scan-style traversal on the server
rather than any of the other potential options.
As an adjunct, "case-insensitive operations" could be listed as a graph feature
alongside {{Computer}} and {{Transactions}}, providing the ability to either
prohibit such steps or to slurp locally via strategy.
