/**
* A link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/TraversalDescription.html[traversal description] is
* built using a fluent interface and such a description can then spawn
* link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/Traverser.html[traversers]. @@graph
*
* <p>With the definition of the +RelationshipTypes+ as @@sourceRels
*
* <p>The graph can be traversed with for example the following traverser, starting at the ``Joe''
* node: @@knowslikestraverser
*
* <p>The traversal will output: @@knowslikesoutput
*
* <p>Since
* link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/TraversalDescription.html[+TraversalDescription+]s
* are immutable it is also useful to create template descriptions which holds common settings
* shared by different traversals. For example, let's start with this traverser: @@basetraverser
*
* <p>This traverser would yield the following output (we will keep starting from the ``Joe''
* node): @@baseoutput
*
* <p>Now let's create a new traverser from it, restricting depth to three: @@depth3
*
* <p>This will give us the following result: @@output3
*
* <p>Or how about from depth two to four? That's done like this: @@depth4
*
* <p>This traversal gives us: @@output4
*
* <p>For various useful evaluators, see the
* link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/Evaluators.html[Evaluators] Java API or simply
* implement the link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/Evaluator.html[Evaluator] interface
* yourself.
*
* <p>If you're not interested in the link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/Path.html[+Path+]s, but the
* link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/Node.html[+Node+]s you can transform the traverser into an
* iterable of link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/Traverser.html#nodes()[nodes] like
* this: @@nodes
*
* <p>In this case we use it to retrieve the names: @@nodeoutput
*
* <p>link:javadocs/org/neo4j/graphdb/traversal/Traverser.html#relationships()[Relationships] are
* fine as well, here's how to get them: @@relationships
*
* <p>Here the relationship types are written, and we get: @@relationshipoutput
*
* <p>TIP: The source code for the traversers in this example is available at: @@github
