---------------------------------------
Sure, I'll submit a PR in the next few days.
> Support GraphFactory location via annotation.

> Key: TINKERPOP3-778
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-778
> Project: TinkerPop 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: structure
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-incubating
> Reporter: Bryn Cooke
> Assignee: stephen mallette
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.1-incubating
>
>
> When using GraphFactory vendors have to use a concrete class with a static
> 'open' method on it.
> However, I would expect many vendors will want to expose an interface.
> {code:java}
> Map config = new HashMap<>();
> config.put(Graph.GRAPH, MyGraph.class.getName()); //MyGraph is an interface
> MyGraph graph = GraphFactory.open(config);
> {code}
> I realise that class name of the factory needn't match the class that is
> returned to the user, but it would be nice if it did.
> Adding an annotation to specify the factory class would fix this.
> {code:java}
> @GraphFactory(MyGraphFactory.class) //Graph factory uses this to locate the
> graph factory class
> interface MyGraph extends Graph{
> }
> {code}
