Re: [DISCUSS] Rethink JanusGrpah Schema Management

Jan,

I really like this overall approach and would love to lend a hand in making it happen.  I like the idea of streamlining both schema management and general user access to a JanusGraph instance - I think this makes things much more "explainable" to other developers who need to access the database.

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi

As a follow up to my talk last week, I would like to start a discussion on this topic about redesign the Schema Management.


General idea is to deprecated direct access to JanusGraph server using other things than a gremlin client/driver, such as the ManagementSystem or StandardJanusGraph.


Main advantage, we can change internally core components without having breaking changes in our front facing api.


I started to work on the first precondition to reduce the requirements to access a janusgraph instance using a java/groovy gremlin client/driver. PR: https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph/pull/1521


Idea of an implementation order:

  1. Extract gremlin driver from JanusGraph core, so User only depend on small dependency to use JanusGraph with a gremlin client, like dot net or python GLVs.
  2. Make JanusGraph read only by using a tinkerpop strategy 
  3. Use a tinkerpop strategy to enforce the Schema
  4. Make the Schema accessible via gremlin


Any thoughts?


Greetings 

Jan
