Daniel Kuppitz commented on TINKERPOP-1367:
-------------------------------------------
Nah, the workaround is ugly, I really liked the idea of having a
{{Min/Max/Mean?/Sum?/Count?SideEffectStep}} as shown in this example:
{noformat}
gremlin> g.V().outE().values('weight').max('a').barrier().where(eq('a')).path()
==>[1.0, v[1], e[8][1-knows->4], 1.0]
==>[1.0, v[4], e[10][4-created->5], 1.0]
{noformat}
> 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.
