In 3.3.5 we introduced a more unified method to construct "g":
gremlin> g = traversal().withGraph(TinkerFactory.createModern())
==>graphtraversalsource[tinkergraph[vertices:6 edges:6], standard]
gremlin> g = traversal().withRemote('conf/remote-graph.properties')
==>graphtraversalsource[emptygraph[empty], standard]
gremlin> g =
traversal().withRemote(DriverRemoteConnection.using('localhost',8182))
==>graphtraversalsource[emptygraph[empty], standard]
https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.4.8/upgrade/#_anonymoustraversalsource
I think that approach has been really helpful. Of course, this morning I
was thinking that withGraph(Graph) could be better named if we changed it
to withEmbedded(Graph) which would then make it explicit that there are two
modes of operation at play here in TinkerPop when you go to write your
Gremlin with "g".
You can (1) have a "embedded" graph for which you must have a local
instance available or (2) a "remote" graph for which you need a connection.
I was thinking we could deprecate withGraph() for withEmbedded() in 3.4.9
and drop withGraph() in 3.5.0. Anyone have any thoughts on that matter?
