Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Anonymous traversals with @GremlinDSL and Gremlin-Groovy Script Engine
Here's the issue related to nesting repeat() steps: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-967 it's not clear from the comment where marko left that one exactly. anyway, i'm not aware of anyone actively working on that.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Anonymous traversals with @GremlinDSL and Gremlin-Groovy Script Engine
Cool. I flip/flop back and forth about having better support for general predicates (like text and geo) - seems like this would be a argument in favor of adding such things to resolve this problem of having to write server side DSL code. if done right it might save graph providers from having to write their on extensions to GLVs .

>Can you talk about what those custom steps do? Do you also have custom > TraversalStrategies which interact with them? We do not have any custom TraversalStrategies yet. We do have custom predicates, though not many... Mostly string operations (textContains, textRegex). Most of our custom steps can be implemented as plain Gremlin, however, we've found that because we know the shape of our graphs (it starts with an explicit tree structure, with other edges layered on top), we can write some steps more efficiently, or just more easily, as direct TinkerPop java Vertex/Edge operations. One of our custom steps, however, is a work-around to the fact that the NESTED_LOOP traversal requirement, still, cannot be met.

Again, I think this puts you in a different category that goes beyond what DSLs were intended for. Going down this route makes for highly advanced usage.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Anonymous traversals with @GremlinDSL and Gremlin-Groovy Script Engine
Now that python-gremlin is mature enough to use and extend, I'm working to
migrate our environment to a fully session-less, bytecode-based environment.
However, we currently have significant amounts of "legacy" groovy/gremlin
hanging around. Until all of that can be migrated, we still need to use the
older model.
We do have a handful of custom steps that are not implemented as combinations
of existing Gremlin steps, which does drive us to a server-side DSL.
Do you expect to *NOT* support server-side DSLs in the future (even as
Bytecode)?

yes - it might. i don't think we should go down that path though. first of
all, i think the workaround i suggested seems like the way to do this
within the context of what we have right now (unless that doesn't work for
some reason). second, the approach you're taking with DSLs is not really
something we are planning on directly supporting - it's availability is a
bit of a side-effect of many other older design decisions. Going forward,
I'd say that the consensus on TinkerPop's general direction is:
1. prefer sessionless requests over sessions
2. bytecode based traversal are the future, not scripts
3. DSLs are a client side feature and are designed with item 2 in mind
Is there a particular use case you are trying to satisfy that forces you
down the path of sessions and server-side DSLs? I think we've all spent a
fair time considering where 1-3 breaks down and how important those break
downs are for usability. To me, the main use case for server-side DSLs
would be if you had some custom steps that you'd written that you wanted in
the DSL. But, to me, that's almost past DSL level. If you're doing that,
you've drifted into the general category of Graph System Provider and if
you've done that, then you have a very heavy weight implementation to
manage and as such you are in the minority of users (and thus - little
impact with that breakdown).
Don't want to panic anyone with 1-3 if you're new to the listIt's not
like TinkerPop 3.4.0 is going to drop script support or anything like that.
I'm just trying to say that developers who want to be most inline with the
latest thinking on the future direction of the project should look to
conform to 1-3 where possible.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Anonymous traversals with @GremlinDSL and Gremlin-Groovy Script Engine
I think I figured out why 'label' isn't getting imported... It is being
overwritten in the import map by the __.label() method static import.
Normally, the CoreGremlinPlugin imports 'T.label' and '__.label()' is filtered
out of the imports on line 59 of ImportGroovyCustomizer.java (It was probably
taken care of via line 55).
Perhaps if there was a way to specify a custom "__" class to the
ImportCustomizer, this would all solve itself?

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Anonymous traversals with @GremlinDSL and Gremlin-Groovy Script Engine
So I did a quick experiment of:
---
a/gremlin-groovy/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/groovy/jsr223/GremlinGroovyScriptEngine.java
+++
b/gremlin-groovy/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/groovy/jsr223/GremlinGroovyScriptEngine.java
-
CoreGremlinPlugin.instance().getCustomizers("gremlin-groovy").ifPresent(c ->
listOfCustomizers.addAll(Arrays.asList(c)));
+
CoreGremlinPlugin.instance().getCustomizers("gremlin-groovy").ifPresent(c ->
listOfCustomizers.addAll(0, Arrays.asList(c)));
While this does allow my DSL's __ to be the one found, oddly, some other static
imports no longer appear in the interpreter; specifically 'label'.
(Referencing 'T.label' works fine.) It isn't that the symbol lookup finds the
incorrect class; I get the error "groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such
property: label for class: Script2", however, some other enums (ie, 'incr') are
imported just fine.
Any ideas why that would occur?

There was a time when I looked into that in pretty grave detail. I don't recall my findings exactly, but I obviously didn't come up with a nice solution.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Anonymous traversals with @GremlinDSL and Gremlin-Groovy Script Engine
Thanks for fixing issue #1. I figured that one would be easy to fix. As for issue #2, I'm wondering if changing the GremlinGroovyScriptEngine to add it's ImportCustomizer (line 247) to the beginning of the list of customizers, rather than the end, would allow DSLs (and any other imports) to override the default Gremlin imports. - Branden On 2/14/18, 8:23 AM, "Stephen Mallette" wrote: Oops - the `getAnonymousTraversalClass()` should get generated properly.
