Originally mentioned here:

and pretty easy to create with an empty TinkerGraph in Gremlin Server with 
{{evaluationTimeout}} set to something large using this script in the Gremlin 
Console with {{-Xmx512}}:

{code}
cluster = Cluster.open()
client = cluster.connect()
client.submit("g.addV().as('a').addE('self').iterate()")
rs = 
client.submit("g.V().emit().repeat(out()).valueMap(true).limit(10000000)");[]
iterator = rs.iterator();[]
x = 0
while(iterator.hasNext()) {
  x++
  if (x % 10000 == 0) {
    System.out.println(x + "-[" + rs.getAvailableItemCount() + "]-"+ 
iterator.next());
  }
}
{code}

The {{LinkedBlockingQueue}} of the {{ResultQueue}} is unbounded and can fill 
faster than can be consumed and on a system with limited memory an OOME can 
loom. 

While we tend to discourage iteration of large result sets {{e.g. g.V()}} I 
suppose we should do what we can to keep users out of OOME situations if we 
can. Not sure of the best way to do this but some simple experimentation showed 
that bounding the queue helps (tried with 100000) but does require the adding 
of new results to be blocked until more are consumed.
