Summary: Provide a mutation API
Key: TINKERPOP3-744
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-744
Project: TinkerPop 3
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: process
Affects Versions: 3.0.0.GA
Reporter: Bryn Cooke
Assignee: Marko A. Rodriguez
Currently property mutations to elements are restricted to setting a property
to a fixed value and adding/removing.
However for efficient gremlin server side mutations we will need more
operations. For instance:
* Incrementing the value of a property.
* String manipulation.
* Setting a property to be the soundex of another property.
All these operations are available when updating a table using SQL.
Currently this sort of thing is handled via sideeffect lambda, however this
means deploying custom code to gremlin server instances.
It would be great if we had a more fully featured mutations API. This would
allow vendors to implement optimisations if their backend supports the mutation
natively.
