Messenger (Apache TinkerPop 3.5.8 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

SingleMessenger, TinkerMessenger
```
public interface Messenger<M>
```
The Messenger serves as the routing system for messages between vertices. For distributed systems, the messenger can implement a "message passing" engine (distributed memory). For single machine systems, the messenger can implement a "state sharing" engine (shared memory). Each messenger is tied to the particular vertex distributing the message.
