             Summary: Reduce Traversal.isRoot() to a check of EmptyStep
                 Key: TINKERPOP-2310
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2310
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: process
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
            Reporter: Stephen Mallette
            Assignee: Stephen Mallette


The {{Traversal.isRoot()}} default implementation looks like:

{code}
        public default boolean isRoot() {
            return null == getParent() || getParent() instanceof EmptyStep;
        }
{code}

Could this be reduced to just a check of {{EmptyStep}} - i.e. can the parent never be {{null}}
