Using Custom Visitors in AQL Graph Traversals

Jan blogged about some recent extensions for the AQL graph traversal functionality in ArangoDB. These extensions allow invoking user-defined JavaScript code for filtering and results generation in AQL queries that contain traversals.

This should make AQL graph traversals much more powerful than before.

Additionally, AQL graph traversals get more configurable, allowing to write traversal functions with control-flow logic and complex filtering. As a side-effect, this change facilitates writing specialized traversal functions with much higher efficiency than the general-purpose, cover-all-cases default ones.
