question

Hi @rickpaiste_111833,

if I understand you correctly, you would like to look up all the vertices in the graph that share certain property values with the seed vertex "srcW", but are not the seed vertex itself.

I used the simple test graph that is mostly used in these traversal recipes and added a bit more data so that this search would return meaningful values. I also allowed scans for this quick test, you will need to set up search indexes where applicable to avoid scans.

My vertices look now like this:

gremlin> g.V().valueMap()
==>{software_id=[software1], name=[lop], lang=[java]}
==>{software_id=[software2], name=[ripple], lang=[java]}
==>{name=[josh], age=[32], person_id=[person3]}
==>{name=[anna], age=[29], person_id=[person10]}
==>{name=[vadas], age=[27], person_id=[person2]}
==>{name=[marko], age=[30], person_id=[person11]}
==>{name=[marko], age=[29], person_id=[person1]}
==>{name=[peter], age=[35], person_id=[person4]}

The following traversal looks up all vertices in the graph of label "person" that have the same value for the property "age" or the same value for the property "name" as the seed vertex "marko", but are not "marko".

g.V().has('person', 'person_id','person1').as('marko').
union(
__.V().hasLabel("person").as('friend1').where('friend1', eq('marko')).by('age'), __.V().hasLabel("person").as('friend2').where('friend2', eq('marko')).by('name')
).
where(P.neq("marko")).dedup()

Here is the output from Gremlin console:

gremlin> g.V().has('person', 'person_id','person1').as('marko').
......1> union(
......2> __.V().hasLabel("person").as('friend1').where('friend1', eq('marko')).by('age'), __.V().hasLabel("person").as('friend2').where('friend2', eq('marko')).by('name')
......3> ).
......4> where(P.neq("marko")).dedup()
==>v[{~label=person, person_id="person10"}]
==>v[{~label=person, person_id="person11"}]

I hope this helps!
