Question about `local` step
Sometimes I don't understand how local step works. I want to count how many elements in each array, this query looks correct but gives unexpected result. How to fix it?
g.inject([1,2],[1],[1,2]).local(unfold().count())S

if you just want to count each, the most Gremlinesque way is to do:
local() step has some nuances to it explored here: http://stephen.genoprime.com/snippet/2020/04/25/snippet-10.html and more recently here: https://discord.com/channels/838910279550238720/888507863847284766/1080592362297901088stephen mallette
Use of local()
One of the more misunderstood, misused or simply unknown parts of the Gremlin language is local()-step. Its purpose is to execute a child traversal on a single element within the stream. In the following example limit(2) is applied to the stream in a global fashion and thus only two results are returned:

There appears to be a subtle difference between
.count(local) and .local(unfold().count()). Based on my observations, .count(local) performs a separate count on each incoming array. .local(unfold().count()) takes each incoming traverser, and runs is through an unfold().count(). The subtle difference is regarding bulked traversers. A bulked traverser can contain 2 copies of the same object, but it still gets fed into a single execution of the unfold().count() child traversal.
g.inject([1,2],[1],[1,2]) appears to spawn 2 traversers:
{t = [1], bulk=1}, {t = [1,2], bulk=2}.
There are 3 arrays but only 2 traversers. This creates the following results:
It appears that even when disabling bulking, inject() still only spawns 2 traversers in this case.
I believe this may be a bug in the inject step. Thoughts @spmallette ?S

I'm definitely turning that thing i wrote in the discord link above into a blog post today. if i didn't re-read that i'd have probably gone down into a hole of debugging with this example. sorry i didn't understand if this was the real question here.
anyway, no, not a bug. that's just how
local() works. a global count() (not count(local)) occurs over the same objects in the stream. maybe this is easier to see:
The objects are all List with a 1 in there so they all count under the same traverser object. kinda weird but there are some use cases where you want to do object-local traversal computations. this example with inject() is fairly contrived so it looks especially strange. whenever i see local() in a traversal, i always stop to ask if it really needs to be there. often, it should be replaced with a Scope.local argument (like count(local) in this case) or a direct replacement with map() or flatMap().S

hope i didn't jump to "mark solution" too quickly....wanted that link in Answer Overflow so that i could complete the blog post: https://stephen.genoprime.com/snippet/2023/04/13/snippet-15.html

Use of local() Revisited
In recent weeks there have been many questions about the local()-step both in Discord and in TinkerPop’s JIRA. I’d written on this topic once before in Use of local() but it perhaps begs a further revisit. The example that arose from Discord helped inspire this post as it was sufficiently primitive to hopefully clarify usage.
Apache TinkerPop is an open source graph computing framework and the home of the Gremlin graph query language.
