Hi,
This is to hear what the community thinks about tinkerpop auto capturing
schema information.
Since labels, any tinkerpop graph has a schema and seeing that tinkerpop
captures every vertex and edge with its label it could transparently
maintain this in the db itself.
It should add little to no overhead to capturing data as schemas change
seldom and are small compared to the actual data.
There are may use cases for having the schema available as part of the
regular graph.
* Natural place to attach further (non tinkerpop) info like acl, audit
rules, multiplicities, navigability
* Might enable code insight for gremlin.
* Store performance/analytic result.
* Easy for new users to understand any graph's schema
* Might facilitate gremlin optimization
...
I understand that may implementations have their own peculiar schema
requirements. However my idea is not to walk a path outside of
tinkerpop's own semantics.
Besides all that there is something sweet about a graph
containing/managing its own meta data.
Thanks
Pieter
