AbstractTinkerGraph.IdManager (Apache TinkerPop 3.7.0-SNAPSHOT API)

Type Parameters:

T - the id type

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractTinkerGraph.DefaultIdManager

Enclosing class:

AbstractTinkerGraph
```
public static interface AbstractTinkerGraph.IdManager<T>
```
TinkerGraph will use an implementation of this interface to generate identifiers when a user does not supply them and to handle identifier conversions when querying to provide better flexibility with respect to handling different data types that mean the same thing. For example, the AbstractTinkerGraph.DefaultIdManager.LONG implementation will allow g.vertices(1l, 2l) and g.vertices(1, 2) to both return values.
