Daniel Kuppitz commented on TINKERPOP-1367:
-------------------------------------------
{quote}
I was thinking more on this during my evening walk and thought – if there are
"ties" in {{max()}} and {{min()}}, which path survives?
{quote}
I would say any path, as long as it crosses the/a min/max value. It's actually
the same as with {{dedup()}}.
> Preserve path history for min() and max()

> Currently all reducing barriers are treated the same (min, max, mean, etc.).
> But they are indeed different when it comes to path computations. Some of
> them could preserve the path history, others could not.
> For max() and min(), we could preserve the path history. In fact, in this
> respect, max() and min() would NOT be ReducingBarrierSteps, but in fact be
> some sort of "barrier" FilterStep.
