Note

Aerospike Graph does not support array or list property values like String[], Int[], or Date[].
Instead, it uses the more powerful multi-property feature from TinkerPop, enabling multiple values to be assigned to the same property key, each optionally with its own meta-properties.
This facilitates richer data modeling, more flexible queries, and aligns with the property graph model of the Gremlin traversal language.
