default LabelCardinality	getLabelCardinality()	Gets the LabelCardinality for edges in this graph.
default Graph.Features.EdgePropertyFeatures	properties()	Gets features related to "properties" on an Edge.
default boolean	supportsAddEdges()	Determines if an Edge can be added to a Vertex.
default boolean	supportsRemoveEdges()	Determines if an Edge can be removed from a Vertex.
default boolean	supportsUpsert()	Determines if the Graph implementation uses upsert functionality as opposed to insert functionality for Vertex.addEdge(String, Vertex, Object...).

Method Details

supportsAddEdges

default boolean supportsAddEdges()

Determines if an Edge can be added to a Vertex.

supportsRemoveEdges

default boolean supportsRemoveEdges()

Determines if an Edge can be removed from a Vertex.

supportsUpsert

default boolean supportsUpsert()

Determines if the Graph implementation uses upsert functionality as opposed to insert functionality for Vertex.addEdge(String, Vertex, Object...). This feature gives graph providers some flexibility as to how graph mutations are treated. For graph providers, testing of this feature (as far as TinkerPop is concerned) only covers graphs that can support user supplied identifiers as there is no other way for TinkerPop to know what aspect of a edge is unique to appropriately apply assertions. Graph providers, especially those who support schema features, may have other methods for uniquely identifying a edge and should therefore resort to their own body of tests to validate this feature.

properties

default Graph.Features.EdgePropertyFeatures properties()

Gets features related to "properties" on an Edge.

getLabelCardinality

default LabelCardinality getLabelCardinality()

Gets the LabelCardinality for edges in this graph. Edge labels are always immutable (exactly one label, set at creation time).

Returns:

the label cardinality for edges, always LabelCardinality.ONE
