I personally prefer to handle (at least write-) transactions manually. But in this case I think the best option is to go with whatever is most natural in gremlin.
I think this is yet another case where it would be nice if Neo4j allowed read operations without a transactional context. Then manual transaction handling for Neo4j through Gremlin would be the obvious choice. Cheers, Tobias On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 7:24 PM, Marko A.
