Super cool! Two thoughts: How will this get deployed? Each database instance (alternatively gremlin-server) shipping a version of akka-actor and akka-cluster?
What does it mean for performance? Here's my understanding... thoughts? 1. *A sharded graph database*: as long as the data is local it'll scale linearly, then it needs some synchronisation (i.e. hand off the traversal to the instance where the data is local again). I.e. there'll be a sweet spot of replication vs. shards for each use case. 2. *A replicated graph database*: should scale linearly for most traversals 3. *A single machine graph database*: should scale linearly for most traversals Michael
