> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.2.7
> Reporter: Philip Graff
> Assignee: Daniel Kuppitz
> Priority: Major
> Labels: breaking
>
> Currently, min() and max() only operate on properties that extend Number.
> However, these should be able to be applied to anything which implements
> Comparable as they are well-defined for those, too. Other steps like mean()
> and sum() should stay just for Numbers.
