I think we can get rid of {{TraversalEngine}}. We basically just have:

{code}
Optional<GraphComputer> Traversal.Admin.getComputer();
{code}

Then this stuff:

{code}
if (traversal.getEngine().isComputer()) { ... }
{code}

simply becomes:

{code}
if(traversal.getComputer().isPresent()) { ... }
{code}

What is nice is that a {{ReasoningStrategy}} (for example) which determines 
whether to execute OLAP or OLTP, would simply {{traversal.setComputer(null)}} 
if it believes the traversal should be executed OLTP. Likewise, the 
{{ReasoningStrategy}} can augment the {{GraphComputer}} on the fly via:

{code}
// ReasoningStrategy
if(simpleButOLAP) {
  traversal.setComputer(traversal.getComputer().get().workers(1));
} else if(superSuperSimpleThusOLTP) {
  traversal.setComputer(null);
}
{code}

Thus, there is no {{ReasoningEngine}} ({{TraversalEngine}} goes away). 
Likewise, there is no {{GremlinServerEngine}}. For Gremlin Server execution, 
you could do:

{code}
g = 
graph.traversal().withStrategy(GremlinServerStrategy.build().ip(127.0.0.2).port(134).create())
{code}

Then you no longer need all this nasty infrastructure: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP3-575. Instead, 
{{GremlinServerStrategy}} would simply append a {{GremlinServerResultStep}} at 
the end of the {{Traversal}} EXACTLY how {{ComputerResultStep}} is appended for 
graph computer execution.

To make this crystal clear, we could remove {{TraversalSource.compute()}} and 
have it be this:

{code}
g = graph.traversal().withStrategy(ComputerStrategy.build().compute(graph -> 
graph.compute(Spark).workers(10)).attachElements(false)).create())
{code}

In essence, {{graph.traversal().compute(Function<Graph,GraphComputer>)}} is 
shorthand for the above. As it is right now {{ComputerStrategy}} simply adds a 
{{ComputerResultStep}} to the end of the {{Traversal}} (as a {{Finalization}}). 
However, with this model, it would need to be a {{Decoration}}.

We could have a shorthand be:

{code}
g = graph.traversal().withStrategy(ComputerStrategy.using(SparkGraphComputer))
{code}

Or, using the default {{GraphComputer}} of the {{Graph}}

{code}
g = graph.traversal().withStrategy(ComputerStrategy.instance())
{code}

>
> I just realized something so obvious. {{TraversalSource}} should be fluent 
> and not this awkward {{TraversalSource.Builder}} model we use. You should be 
> able to do this:
> {code}
> graph = GraphFactory.open(...)
> g = graph.traversal()
> g = g.withStrategy(MyStrategy.class)
> g = g.withSack(1.0,sum)
> ...
> g.V().out().sack()
> g.V().out().out().drop()
> {code}
> Thus, {{TraversalSource}} methods return a {{TraversalSource}}. 
> {code}
> g = 
> graph.traversal(computer(GiraphGraphComputer)).withStrategy(MyStrategy.class).withSack(1.0,sum).withBulk(false)
> {code}
> That {{g}} is then "locked" with those parameterizations and any 
> {{V()}}/{{addV()}}/etc. off of it will spawn traversal with that 
> parameterization.
> This solves:
>   TINKERPOP3-862
>   TINKERPOP3-960 (makes more elegant)
> This would be backwards compatible. Though, deprecation would occur.
> Finally, DSLs are still respected.
> {code}
> g = graph.traversal(SocialTraversal.class)
> {code}
> A fleeting thought...
> {code}
> g = graph.traversal().using(GiraphGraphComputer)
> g = graph.traversal().via(GremlinServerConnection).using(GiraphGraphComputer)
> {code}
> So much cleaner than all that {{Builder}}-crap....
