Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`default Optional<Customizer[]>`	`getCustomizers()` Gets the list of all `Customizer` implementations to assign to a new `GremlinScriptEngine`.
`Optional<Customizer[]>`	`getCustomizers(String scriptEngineName)` Gets the list of `Customizer` implementations to assign to a new `GremlinScriptEngine`.
`String`	`getName()` The name of the module.
`default boolean`	`requireRestart()` Some modules may require a restart of the plugin host for the classloader to pick up the features.

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    The name of the module. This name should be unique (use a namespaced approach) as naming clashes will prevent proper module operations. Modules developed by TinkerPop will be prefixed with "tinkerpop." For example, TinkerPop's implementation of Giraph would be named "tinkerpop.giraph". If Facebook were to do their own implementation the implementation might be called "facebook.giraph".
  - requireRestart
```
default boolean requireRestart()
```
    Some modules may require a restart of the plugin host for the classloader to pick up the features. This is typically true of modules that rely on Class.forName() to dynamically instantiate classes from the root classloader (e.g. JDBC drivers that instantiate via @{code DriverManager}).
  - getCustomizers
```
default Optional<Customizer[]> getCustomizers()
```
    Gets the list of all Customizer implementations to assign to a new GremlinScriptEngine. This is the same as doing getCustomizers(null).
  - getCustomizers
```
Optional<Customizer[]> getCustomizers(String scriptEngineName)
```
    Gets the list of Customizer implementations to assign to a new GremlinScriptEngine. The implementation should filter the returned Customizers according to the supplied name of the Gremlin-enabled ScriptEngine. By providing a filter, GremlinModule developers can have the ability to target specific ScriptEngines.
    
    Parameters:
    
    scriptEngineName - The name of the ScriptEngine or null to get all the available Customizers
