             Summary: Add string performance options to StarGraph
                 Key: TINKERPOP-1680
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1680
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: structure
            Reporter: Dan LaRocque
            Priority: Minor


I suggest adding a backwards-compatible StarGraph builder exposing a couple minor performance-sensitive behaviors for configuration.

Specifically:

* StarGraph calls {{String#intern}} on labels
* StarGraph calls {{toString}} on ID elements when testing element-existence-by-id

It would be nice to have the option to disable these calls in use-cases that don't need them.  The performance gain is going to be small and bound to a narrow set of applications, but it's nice to have the choice.  It shaved about 3~5% runtime off the use case-case that led me here (via profiling).

I already tested a local change that adds a builder while neither modifying StarGraph's default behavior nor disturbing any of its existing method/constructor signatures.  I'll file a PR against tp32 momentarily.
