Marko A. Rodriguez commented on TINKERPOP-958: ---------------------------------------------- [~rjbriody] I just realized the solution to this. {code} groupCount() groupCount('m') {code} Whats the difference? The first is {{GroupCountStep}} the second is {{GroupCountSideEffectStep}}. The first is a reducer that pops out a {{Map<Object,Long>}}, the second is a sideEffect that stores the {{Map<Object,Long>}} in {{traversal.getSideEffects().get('m')}} and simply passes the incoming traverser to output undisturbed. This is how {{profile()}} should work: {code} profile() -> ProfileStep profile('m') -> ProfileSideEffectStep {code} Then its consistent with the pattern used by other {{sideEffect/map}}-steps and it does what you want. > Improve usability of .profile() step. > ------------------------------------- > > Key: TINKERPOP-958 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-958 > Project: TinkerPop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: process > Reporter: Bob Briody > Assignee: Marko A.
