Hi Michael,

Every time there is a reducing barrier step, the path history is lost. Why, 
when you go many-to-one what is the path?

        
http://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.1.0-incubating/#a-note-on-barrier-steps

In TinkerPop2, a reducing barrier would make the path of the yielded traverser 
be the path of the last reduced traverser. However, this is random as ordering 
is random. In TinkerPop3, it was decided best to just say "the path starts a 
fresh."

Thoughts?,
Marko.
