Sam Rosen created TINKERPOP-2014: ------------------------------------ Summary: Allow an ability to specify seeding for random methods such as coin, sample and Order.shuffle Key: TINKERPOP-2014 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2014 Project: TinkerPop Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Sam Rosen
Currently, all the methods that have non-deterministic behavior such as coin and sample have no ability to set a seed. The ability to set a seed will allow for reproducible and testable behavior as well as more control flow for random processes. If a certain backend does not support seeding, they could simply ignore it. Some possible API changes: graph.traversal.V().withSeed(2L).coin(.5) graph.traversal.V().sample(3, 0L) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
