#1 is the big one, always has been since the major rewrite of tinkerpop. It is the main reason Ferma development slowed down to maintenance level, it was just too big of a change and not in line with the original incentive to use Ferma/tinkerpop, that is, adding a robust type system on top of the Graph API. All that said I am not willing to give up on it and would like to brainstorm ways I can bring Ferma back up to speed and still make it "feel" like its running on the graph API as a type system, even if below the surface it is calling the gremlin itself. Once I have a chance to get back into the code I'll throw you some feedback. You have my email so feel free to reach out anytime directly as well.

did you find any solution?

Would be interested to know if that ever happened or if we have to use Gremlin directly when using Neptune.

Hey, sorry I missed this, going to catchup on FERMA updates and get a new version out soon. Havent tested on Neptune but since FERMA just translates everything to gremlin anyway its hard to see why it wouldnt work. Have you tried it?

I think the issue is that Ferma needs a Graph instance to work and since that instance for a "remote" graph is technically an EmptyGraph instance, Ferma has some trouble. A similar question was posted on the Ferma "Getting Started" page:

Thanks so much for helping out there! I havent looked into it, but I would think the DelegatingFramedGraph could take a EmptyGraph type, afterall it just inherits from the Graph type no?

In DelegatingFramedGraph it uses the structure API of Graph.addVertex():

Ferma/src/main/java/com/syncleus/ferma/DelegatingFramedGraph.java

Line 305 in 9a45e2d

return frameNewElement(this.getBaseGraph().addVertex(keyValues), initializer);

for mutations so I think that's perhaps where there is a problem as EmptyGraph has no method implementations...it's just a placeholder:

https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/0971b2b3992cc079d1d0affac5c1f6dafe7aa7b6/gremlin-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/structure/util/empty/EmptyGraph.java

For remote connections (and even for embedded cases) users really only interact by way of Gremlin through the GraphTraversalSource. There are likely other issues with remote use cases as well like:

https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/current/reference/#_properties_of_elements

though I hope TinkerPop can change that in the future - i believe there was some community discussion for it already. anyway, definitely a few tricks to sort out to make this work for remote cases, though there seems to be demand for it as some users seem to really like OGM-style development.

Oh yes, I recall that change.. it pissed off a lot of people at the time and lost a chunk of the userbase sadly. I suppose Ferma could replace the method calls to gremlin calls instead. Been a while since I made major changes to Ferma so ill have to get back up to speed to see what other hidden challenges there might be around that.
