DSE Graph - How to see the underlying Cassandra queries from Gremlin queries?

Question

If I execute a gremlin query in the gremlin-console, is there a way to see the Cassandra queries DSE Graph generates?

Answer 1

DSE Graph provides an extended set of attributes to the results of TinkerPop's profile() step - here is an example of the output:

gremlin> g.V().has('recipe','name','spaghetti').profile()
