Description

I think we should make a new toy data set that has all the graph structure features in it – vertices, edges, vertex properties, multi-properties, meta-properties, graph variables, different edge labels with different property keys, etc. etc.

The graph doesn't have to be big, it just needs to cover all the features. Next, we should then stamp out a version of that file at every release:

graph-test-x.y.z.xml
graph-test-x.y.z.kryo
graph-test-x.y.z.json
graph-test-x.y.z-typed.json

Then we should have a test case that verifies that the current SNAPSHOT GryoReader, GraphSONReader, GraphMLReader, etc. can still read those files. If they can't, then we have introduced a change in our serialization format.
