Shell Access (Gremlin)

Octopus provides access to Gremlin shells that can be used to query the database. Shells run inside the server process and can therefore make use of the ‘plocal’ binary protocol for efficient access.

Usage

The shells currently running inside the server process can be listed using the listshells command as follows:

curl http://localhost:2480/listshells

A new shell can be created using the shellcreate command as follows.

curl http://localhost:2480/shellcreate/[dbname]

where dbname is the name of the database to connect to. By default, a shell for bjoernDB is created.

Configuration

none
