Description

The Channelizer for Gremlin Server is instantiated by reflection from Settings. The problem for those embedding Gremlin Server is that they can't easily inject their own objects into custom Channelizer implementations. This typically means that sharing objects between the host application and the Gremlin Server instantiated Channelizer is restricted to static global variables which isn't so nice.
