             Summary: add help for :remote config for Gephi Plugin
                 Key: TINKERPOP-1303
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1303
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: console
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Jason Plurad
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.2.1


This idea came from reviewing the 
[patch|https://github.com/apache/incubator-tinkerpop/pull/308] for 
TINKERPOP-1297. Currently {{:remote config}} with no arguments returns an 
unfriendly message "Invalid config arguments - check syntax". It might be more 
user-friendly if {{:remote config}} either returned the existing configuration 
settings or if it listed some help.

 {{:remote config help}} could let the user know what parameters are available 
and how they can be configured. Or perhaps something similar to how {{:remote 
connect}} works when you leave out parameters would help lead the user down the 
path of getting the syntax right.

Although I approached this from a Gephi perspective, it seems that the config 
options help must be based on the remote type, whether it is 
{{tinkerpop.gephi}} vs {{tinkerpop.server}} vs {{tinkerpop.hadoop}}.
