[DISCUSS] Future Roadmap Updates for TinkerPop 4.0

[Yang Xia <xi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

As raised in the community, the Future doc for TinkerPop has been outdated
since we've released 3.7.

I previously opened a PR to update the Future section, to align it with the
TP4 features that have been in discussion or have been brought up at
various points. Given the recent discussions on creating a milestone
release as well as new development efforts, I've pushed some updates into
the PR (https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/2598) for review. This is
something I'd like to publish along with the up-coming 3.6/3.7 maintenance
release.

I'd also like to mention that there are a few topics that I've included
that are in ideation phases, more specifically topics such as
multi-label/mutable-label/no-label, match() step rework, query
cancellation, io() improvements, etc., which were brought up in related
discussions as potential new features/solutions to existing problems.
Please feel free to open up any of these discussions if you have thoughts
and feedback around them.

Cheers,

Yang
