## Class Client

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.driver.Client

- Direct Known Subclasses:
    Client.ClusteredClient, Client.ReboundClusteredClient, Client.SessionedClient

      public abstract class Client
      extends Object

  A `Client` is constructed from a `Cluster` and represents a way to send messages to Gremlin Server. This class itself is a base class as there are different implementations that provide differing kinds of functionality. See the implementations for specifics on their individual usage.

  The `Client` is designed to be re-used and shared across threads.

    - #### rebind

          @Deprecated
          public Client rebind(Map<String,String> rebindings)

      Deprecated.

    - #### submit

          public ResultSet submit(Traversal traversal)

      Submit a `Traversal` to the server for remote execution.Results are returned as `Traverser` instances and are therefore bulked, meaning that to properly iterate the contents of the result each `Traverser.bulk()` must be examined to determine the number of times that object should be presented in iteration.

    - #### submitAsync

          public CompletableFuture<ResultSet> submitAsync(Traversal traversal)

      An asynchronous version of `submit(Traversal)`. Results are returned as `Traverser` instances and are therefore bulked, meaning that to properly iterate the contents of the result each `Traverser.bulk()` must be examined to determine the number of times that object should be presented in iteration.

    - #### submit

          public ResultSet submit(Bytecode bytecode)

      Submit a `Bytecode` to the server for remote execution. Results are returned as `Traverser` instances and are therefore bulked, meaning that to properly iterate the contents of the result each `Traverser.bulk()` must be examined to determine the number of times that object should be presented in iteration.

    - #### submitAsync

          public CompletableFuture<ResultSet> submitAsync(Bytecode bytecode)

      An asynchronous version of `submit(Traversal)`. Results are returned as `Traverser` instances and are therefore bulked, meaning that to properly iterate the contents of the result each `Traverser.bulk()` must be examined to determine the number of times that object should be presented in iteration.

    - #### init

          public Client init()

      Initializes the client which typically means that a connection is established to the server. Depending on the implementation and configuration this blocking call may take some time. This method will be called automatically if it is not called directly and multiple calls will not have effect.

    - #### submit

          public ResultSet submit(String gremlin)

      Submits a Gremlin script to the server and returns a `ResultSet` once the write of the request is complete.
      Parameters:
        `gremlin` - the gremlin script to execute

    - #### submit

          public ResultSet submit(String gremlin,
                                  Map<String,Object> parameters)

      Submits a Gremlin script and bound parameters to the server and returns a `ResultSet` once the write of the request is complete. If a script is to be executed repeatedly with slightly different arguments, prefer this method to concatenating a Gremlin script from dynamically produced strings and sending it to `submit(String)`. Parameterized scripts will perform better.
      Parameters:
        `gremlin` - the gremlin script to execute
        `parameters` - a map of parameters that will be bound to the script on execution

      The asynchronous version of `submit(String, Map)`} where the returned future will complete when the write of the request completes.
      Parameters:
        `gremlin` - the gremlin script to execute
