             Summary: We need a way to dynamically modify global bindings on 
the Gremlin Server.
                 Key: TINKERPOP-1839
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1839
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2.6
            Reporter: David Pitera


This question on StackOverflow 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47342524/how-to-traverse-graph-created-using-configuredplanfactory-in-janusgraph/47354728?noredirect=1#comment81670711_47354728
 along with the fact that most language client's interact with the Gremlin 
Server through the use of a variable bound to a graph of traversal reference, 
i.e. `graph` is usually bound to a graph and `g` is usually bound to its 
traversal 
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/master/gremlin-server/scripts/empty-sample.groovy#L40.

With JanusGraph's notion of dynamic graphs, there is no way to make use of the 
`withRemote()` functionality or make use of language clients demanding the 
traversal reference be bound to a variable.

Therefore, we need a way to dynamically modify the global bindings on the 
gremlin script engine without having to restart the server.

Note; I answered the original stack overflow question above, however I am 
pretty sure my answer is actually incorrect because the global binding will be 
evaluated once at server start and the evaluated references will be stored in 
the map and passed into the gremlin executor. Is this true?
