Description

TinkerGraph can be configured with "persistence" such that when the graph is closed, it's contents are stored to a file (gryo, graphml, etc). Indices, however, are not persisted (nor are Graph variables - TINKERPOP-892) and therefore the user needs to recreate them when they re-load the graph. It seems like if persistence is enabled that index definitions should be preserved somehow. The "how" probably needs some discussion/thought.
