Problem

How do you cleanup Vertexes (and Edges) with GraphTraversalSource g?

I don't understand why g.V().drop() doesn't work with traversal().withRemote()
When I have this working fine with OrientGraph.traversal().
How do I drop() Vertexes with GraphTraversalSource g?

GraphTraversalSource g = traversal().withRemote("conf/remote-graph.properties");

OrientGraph orientGraph = OrientGraph.open(configuration);
GraphTraversalSource g = orientGraph.traversal();

Reproduction

Steps

1. Create-and-Startup JanusGraph [Docker-container]

   docker run -d -p 8182:8182 janusgraph/janusgraph
   

2. Run drop() in a Java-Project
3. Results
   1. Expect: Vertexes are dropped. g.V().count().next() equals 2.
   2. Actual: Vertexes are not dropped. g.V().count().next() increases by 2.

Logs

I've already tried appending .next() onto just about everything. g.V().drop().next() causes

The gremlin console automatically tries to next a traversal until an configured number of times. To have a traversal in a java program take effect, you have to add the iterate() yourself, so g.V().drop().iterate().
