Hi James,

thank you for your e-mail and your interest in Flink :)

I've recently taken a _quick_ look into Apache TinkerPop and I think it'd
be very interesting to integrate with Flink/Gelly.
Are you thinking about something like a Flink GraphComputer, similar to
Giraph and Spark GraphComputer's?
I believe such an integration should be straight-forward to implement. You
can start by looking into Flink iteration operators [1] and Gelly iteration
abstractions [2].

Regarding Apache Geode, I'm not familiar with project, but I'll try to take
a look in the following days!

Cheers,
-Vasia.
