Hi James, thank you for your e-mail and your interest in Flink :)
I've recently taken a _quick_ look into Apache TinkerPop and I think it'd be very interesting to integrate with Flink/Gelly. Are you thinking about something like a Flink GraphComputer, similar to Giraph and Spark GraphComputer's? I believe such an integration should be straight-forward to implement. You can start by looking into Flink iteration operators [1] and Gelly iteration abstractions [2]. Regarding Apache Geode, I'm not familiar with project, but I'll try to take a look in the following days! Cheers, -Vasia.
