[jira] [Commented] (TINKERPOP-965) Optimize TraversalStrategy application

["Ted Wilmes (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-965?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15565513#comment-15565513 ] 

Ted Wilmes commented on TINKERPOP-965:
--------------------------------------

Further profiling has shown that the new long pole in the tent is the {{PathRetractionStrategy}}.  Strategy application is still running pretty quickly so we're in pretty good shape but I'd like to make it faster.  Due to the complexity of the {{PathRetractionStrategy}} I will not risk introducing issues with a refactor for this release but will target performance improvements for 3.3.

> From the work of [~twilmes], it appears that we can gain a lot by making {{Traversal.applyStrategies()}} as fast as possible. This is going to be especially important as we transition people away from using "Blueprints-methods" (e.g. {{Graph.addVertex()}} and {{Vertex.addEdge()}}) to "Gremlin-methods" (e.g. {{g.addV()}} and {{g.V().as('a').out().addE('knows').from('a')}}).
> Obviously the "Blueprints-methods" will always be faster given that they are direct calls to the underlying provider. However, they should not be so ridiculously faster that people won't use the "Gremlin-methods." Furthermore, given [~dkuppitz]'s recent work with {{BulkLoaderVertexProgram}} and soon TINKERPOP3-942, the "Gremlin-methods" will be the only way to get these features.
> In general, the work should go beyond the {{Mutation}}-steps and make it so that all traversals compile as fast as possible. The first step is to realize where things are slow and knock those out first....hopefully we realize some tricks!
