stephen mallette commented on TINKERPOP-1174:
---------------------------------------------

I come back to this again.... I don't see us implementing this in TinkerPop 3.x - multi/meta properties sorta hinder this approach to the API because you can't easily express them in a {{Map}}. I think we should just close this with the idea that it will be considered/possible in TinkerPop 4.x when multi/meta properties are likely a thing of the past.

> which overloads the other {{addVertex(Object... properties)}} method with a map based version (of key-value pairs).
> Having this alternative to addVertex is nice because:
> 1) It allows you to submit a map when adding vertices on remote graphs via drivers. Right now, you have to convert the properties to an array which is awkward and unnecessary
> 2) It would work well with groovy's map based syntax so one can write:
> {{g.addVertex( key1 : "value1", key2: "value2")}}
