> TINKERPOP-2284 added {{ElementMapStep}}.
> This step implements {{GraphComputing}}, so it defines that interface's {{onGraphComputer()}} method. The method sets a private boolean field.
> For any implementation that wants to alter {{ElementMapStep}} behavior by replacing instances of the step with an alternative implementation (maybe a subclass), it could be convenient to make the private {{onGraphComputer}} state accessible. I think the rest of {{ElementMapStep}}'s public state is already accessible; it's just this field that is private.
> There are a few ways to go about this.
> * We could add an {{isOnGraphComputer()}} method to just {{ElementMapStep}}, or make {{onGraphComputer}} protected. This is the narrowest version of the change.
> * We could add an {{isOnGraphComputer()}} method to the {{GraphComputing}} interface. This would affect a bunch of implementing steps. Most implementations on tp34 have an internal boolean field storing this state, so it would be easy on those. However, [{{GraphStep}} does not have a boolean onGraphComputer field|https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/tp34/gremlin-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/process/traversal/step/map/GraphStep.java#L131-L135]:
> {code}
> @Override
> public void onGraphComputer() {
> this.iteratorSupplier = Collections::emptyIterator;
> convertElementsToIds();
> }
> {code}
> We could maybe implement this without adding another field, but it would probably be simpler to add a field than to infer it from existing state.
> *Altering this interface would also break any third-party implementations of {{GraphComputing}}.*
> * We could create a {{GraphComputing}} subinterface that adds an {{isOnGraphComputer()}}, and only implement it where a preexisting boolean field makes the job easy. This somewhere in between the first two approaches in terms of scope.
> I'm going to open a PR taking the first, narrowest possible approach, where I'm only touching {{ElementMapStep}}. I'd be happy to rework it to one of the alternatives, if desired.
