stephen mallette commented on TINKERPOP-1565:
---------------------------------------------

well - we did have "beta" in mind, but we have the capability to version our 
formats. maybe not a big deal to stamp out GraphSON 2.1 as part of 3.3.x. 

> GraphSON 2.0 updates -- supporting attachment, maintaining consistency, and 
> reducing verbosity

> GraphSON 2.0 has some issues that should be recified for its "official 
> release" in 3.3.0.
> *Supporting Attachment*
> We need to make sure that every element and property can be attached back to 
> the main graph.
> * For {{Vertex}}, this means that we need to have the ID encoded (CHECK).
> * For {{Edge}}, this means we need to have the out/in vertex ids encoded 
> (CHECK).
> * For {{VertexProperty}}, this means we need to have the vertex ID encoded 
> (ERROR).
> * For {{Property}}, this means we need to have the the element ID (vertex 
> property or edge) encoded and then the subsequent vertex ID (ERROR).
> *Maintaining Consistency*
> Currently, property encoding in {{Edge}} is different than property encoding 
> in {{VertexProperty}}. 
> Edge -->
> {code}
> properties : {
>       key : "aKey",
>       value : { @type: "gProperty", @value : {"key","aKey","value",10}}
> }
> {code}
> VertexProperty-->
> {code}
> properties : {
>       key : "aKey",
>       value : 10
> }
> {code}
> This should be consistent.
> *Reducing Verbosity*
> We have the problem of representing both {{DetachedElements}} and 
> {{ReferenceElements}}. {{DetachedElements}} contain lots of information and 
> is typicaly used to ensure a data rich result set. {{ReferenceElements}} 
> contain only the necessary information for attachment. I think we can support 
> both representations by making certain fields "optional."
> Vertex-->
> {code}
> return new 
> Vertex(json.get("id"),json.getOrDefault("label",Vertex.DEFAULT_LABEL),json.getOrDefault("properties",Collections.emptyMap()))
> {code}
> That is, lots of {{getOrDefault()}} use will make sure that when desesired, 
> we only send/recv information that is needed for the particular 
> computatation. E.g. as dictated by {{HaltedTraverserStrategy}}.
