---------------------------------------------
Summary: AttachableFactory and its entailments.
Key: TINKERPOP-1311
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1311
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: structure
Affects Versions: 3.2.0-incubating
Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
I think that {{ReferenceXXX}}, {{DetachedXXX}}, and {{StarXXX}} should all
implement both {{Attachable}} and have a respective {{AttachableFactory}}.
With proper interfaces, providers can create their own {{ProviderXXX}}
attachables to be used in OLAP and OLTP as they please. For instance, I'm
already seeing that I can solve the {{path.by("name")}} problem in OLAP by
using {{DetachedXXX}} where appropriate in a traversal. Or, if its
{{path.by(outE().count())}}, then {{StarXXX}}. In other words,
detaching/attaching should be really flexible, dynamic, and we can come up with
all sorts of sweet attachables that are optimized for every nook and cranny
case.
