---------------------------------------------
Summary: MatchStep should be a FilterStep, not a MapStep
Key: TINKERPOP-1243
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1243
Project: TinkerPop
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: process
Affects Versions: 3.1.1-incubating, 3.2.0-incubating
Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
{{MatchStep}} should really be a {{FilterStep}}. It simply filters out all
traversers that don't match the patterns. However, given that you typically
{{select()}} after {{match()}}, a {{Map<String,Object>}} is generated. The
benefit of making it a {{FilterStep}} is that people can use {{match()}} to
filter without having to deal with unrolling the {{Map}}. Moreover, it feels
more consistent with the language constructs.
