--------------------------------------------

             Summary: Writes succeed even when query fail()s
                 Key: TINKERPOP-3109
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-3109
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tinkergraph
    Affects Versions: 3.7.2
            Reporter: Christopher Smith


This may be a fundamental limitation of the non-transactional design of 
TinkerGraph, in which case I would request a more detailed writeup on the 
{{fail()}} step itself.

I am trying to test a query where if all edges are removed from a vertex, the 
query should fail (to avoid an orphaned resource):
{code:java}
// drop some edges
.select('v').coalesce(__.in('Manages').limit(1), fail('all edges 
removed')){code}
In Neptune, the {{fail()}} step results in a rollback of the entire query so 
that the edges are not removed. In TinkerGraph, the query still fails (and I 
get my expected HTTP 409 response), but the graph changes are applied.

If this is unavoidable (e.g., no ability to roll back state once a {{drop()}} 
has been executed), then please add a note to the reference documentation for 
{{fail()}} mentioning that whether changes up to that point persist is 
implementation-specific.
