We are very close to a GA. We think that either there will be a “minor M5” or the next release will be GA. Why the delay? We are currently working closely with the Titan team to see if there are any problems in our interfaces/test-suites/etc. The benefit of working with the Titan team is that they are doing both OLTP and OLAP so are covering the full gamut of the TinkerPop3 API. Of course, we have had lots of experience with these APIs for both Neo4j (OTLP) and Giraph (OLAP), but to see it standup to yet another vendor’s requirements will be a confidence boost for GA. If you are vendor, please feel free to join the conversation as your input is crucial to making sure GA meets everyone’s needs.
A few important notes for users:
1. The GremlinKryo serialization format is not guaranteed to be stable from MX to MY. By GA it will be locked.
2. Neo4j-Gremlin’s disk representation is not guaranteed to be stable from MX to MY. By GA it will be locked.
3. Giraph-Gremlin’s Hadoop Writable specification is not guaranteed to be stable from MX to MY. By GA it will be locked.
4. VertexProgram, Memory, Step, SideEffects, etc. hidden and system labels may change between MX and MY. By GA they will be locked.
5. Package and class names might change from MX to MY. By GA they will be locked.Thank you everyone. Please play and provide feedback. This is the time to get your ideas into TinkerPop3 as once it goes GA, sweeping changes are going to be more difficult.
