Apache TinkerPop 3.3.5 Released: Gremlin Symphony #40 in G Minor

[Stephen Mallette <sp...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Apache TinkerPop 3.3.5 has just been released. It is mostly a maintenance
release with bug fixes and optimizations, but also has a few minor
features. Of particular note is the ability to anonymously construct the
TraversalSource (i.e. without a Graph instance), which is especially useful
for remote traversals. There is no longer a need to make use of EmptyGraph
so as to have a Graph reference from which to call the traversal() method.
So, the old way was:

gremlin> graph = EmptyGraph.instance()
==>emptygraph[empty]
gremlin> g = graph.traversal().withRemote('conf/remote-graph.properties')
==>graphtraversalsource[emptygraph[empty], standard]

Now, you can instead do things like:

gremlin> g = traversal().withRemote('conf/remote-graph.properties')
==>graphtraversalsource[emptygraph[empty], standard]
gremlin> g =
traversal().withRemote(DriverRemoteConnection.using('localhost',8182))
==>graphtraversalsource[emptygraph[empty], standard]

As an added bonus, this method for TraversalSource construction is
basically the same for .NET, Javascript and Python and is thus consistent.
