> Make Step.id() generation faster and simpler
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP-1339
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1339
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0-incubating
> Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
> Priority: Major
> Labels: breaking
>
> There is a class called {{StepPosition}} that is smart about creating unique
> ids for steps. Unique, deterministic creation of step ids is important.
> However, what we have now is expensive. When I original did this, I created
> an string ID scheme where you could find your location in the traversal, by
> the id "[0:[1:[2:3]]]" (first step of the root traversal is a traversal
> parent -- the third step of the second traversal). Why I did it like this I
> don't know why??! ... Instead, I think we can make things both faster and
> simpler:
> 1. Change {{Step.id()}} to an integer, not a String.
> 2. Step id labeling is simply walking the traversal tree in a deterministic
> depth first manner and incrementing a {{nextId++}} counter.
> We can do 2 without 1 and it would not be a breaking change.
