I mirror the sibling comment's experience: it was a tire fire; also, if one comes from an n-tier application mental model, it's further bad news because the actual query's compute runs _client side_ -- there is no such thing as "connect to Gremlin 'database,' submit query text, have it run queries" it's rather "boot up Gremlin in your appserver, run queries so long as your appserver can connect to every one of the data stores it references, credentials included" 1-star, hate, will quit before using it again
