Key: TINKERPOP-1839

Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.2.6
Reporter: David Pitera
This question on StackOverflow
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47342524/how-to-traverse-graph-created-using-configuredplanfactory-in-janusgraph/47354728?noredirect=1#comment81670711_47354728
along with the fact that most language client's interact with the Gremlin
Server through the use of a variable bound to a graph of traversal reference,
i.e. `graph` is usually bound to a graph and `g` is usually bound to its
traversal
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/gremlin-server/scripts/empty-sample.groovy#L40.
With JanusGraph's notion of dynamic graphs, there is no way to make use of the
`withRemote()` functionality or make use of language clients demanding the
traversal reference be bound to a variable.
Therefore, we need a way to dynamically modify the global bindings on the
gremlin script engine without having to restart the server.
Note; I answered the original stack overflow question above, however I am
pretty sure my answer is actually incorrect because the global binding will be
evaluated once at server start and the evaluated references will be stored in
the map and passed into the gremlin executor. Is this true?
