Description

g.V().explain() doesn´t really work in any scenario where the traversal is being executed remotely. the explain() applies locally in java so you really just get this:

gremlin> g = traversal().withRemote('conf/remote-graph.properties')
==>graphtraversalsource[emptygraph[empty], standard]
gremlin> g.V().out().explain()
==>Traversal Explanation
============================================================================================
Original Traversal   [GraphStep(vertex,[]), VertexStep(OUT,vertex)]

RemoteStrategy [D]   [RemoteStep(DriverServerConnection-localhost/127.0.0.1:8182 [graph=g])]

Final Traversal      [RemoteStep(DriverServerConnection-localhost/127.0.0.1:8182 [graph=g])]
