Hi everyone,
I'm one of the maintainers of Apache TinkerPop, and I was taking a look
at how HugeGraph
utilizes TinkerPop when I noticed that HugeGraph is consuming TinkerPop
3.5.1 (if I
understood this correctly). This is quite an old version of TinkerPop
(2021), and I wanted
to reach out and ask if there's any reason why HugeGraph has remained
pinned to this
version for so long.
There's been quite a few upgrades to TinkerPop in the last 5 years
including plenty of
new Gremlin steps to expand language capability, improved connection
management stability,
and plenty of performance and security enhancements. I'm curious if
there are any blockers
which have prevented HugeGraph from upgrading, or if there has been a
lack of demand for
new features.
I'd love to have a discussion with folks here about what role (if any)
you see TinkerPop
playing in HugeGraph's long-term future, as well as what can we do on
the TinkerPop side
to support this vision.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts regarding the TinkerPop
upgrade path in
HugeGraph, or the long-term role of TinkerPop in the project.
Thanks,
Cole
