MessageScope (Apache TinkerPop 3.5.8 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.process.computer.MessageScope

Direct Known Subclasses:

MessageScope.Global, MessageScope.Local
```
public abstract class MessageScope
extends Object
```
A MessageScope represents the range of a message. A message can have multiple receivers and message scope allows the underlying GraphComputer to apply the message passing algorithm in whichever manner is most efficient. It is best to use MessageScope.Local if possible as that provides more room for optimization by providers than MessageScope.Global.
