----------------------------------------
We also want a new {{AddVertexStep}} with similar features, correct?
> Bulk loading in TP
> ------------------
>
> Key: TINKERPOP3-694
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-694
> Project: TinkerPop 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Reporter: Ran Magen
>
> Bulk loading can greatly increase performance in many backends, but there is
> no way for vendors to implement bulk loading in the TP API.
> As for how to do it, I was thinking a vendor could inherit from AddXStep, and
> implement bulk loading, enabling something like this:
> ArrayList<Object[]> vertices;
> __.inject(vertices).as("x").addV("x")
> Pros:
> 1. This seems like a standard approach to me, since vendors today batch up
> queries this way
> (https://github.com/thinkaurelius/titan/blob/titan09/titan-core/src/main/java/com/thinkaurelius/titan/graphdb/tinkerpop/optimize/TitanVertexStep.java#L72)
> 2. In contrast to the Graph.addVertex method (and the likes), using a
> traversal enables taking advantage of other strategies, like EventStrategy, a
> validation strategy, etc.
> Cons:
> 1. I don't think the mutating steps currently work with "x" (I'm not sure how
> you call this feature).
> 2. The steps are marked as final.
> Cheers,
