Hi all, Most GLVs have a Client class where the user can directly enter in a Gremlin string script. This query string isn't processed on the client side. If that query contains an error, it requires a round trip with the server in order to know that the query is invalid. This round trip could be saved by having parsing on the driver side. The grammar file could be used to generate an ANTLR parser in each of the official GLVs starting in TinkerPop 4. As an added benefit, this checking also prevents the user from accidentally trying to use a feature that their version of the language doesn't support. There should be an option on the driver side to enable or disable this feature.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks, Ken
