How to return a Vertex in the tinkerpop/gremlin format instead of the DSE graph format?

Question

I am trying to return a Vertex (in tinkerpop format) that it was just created with Gremlin:

DseCluster dseCluster = DseCluster.builder()
        .addContactPoint

In Datastax 1.1 it seems that you can't cast to Vertex directly, there is no indication of this in the documentation.

Instead you can access VertexProperty (org.apache.tinkerpop.gremlin.structure.VertexProperty) using .getProperties(String).

GraphNode n = dseSession.executeGraph("g.V().hasLabel('test_vertex_meta_props')").one();
Vertex vertex = n.asVertex();

// there can be more than one VertexProperty with the key "meta_property"
Iterator metaProps = vertex.getProperties("meta_property");

VertexProperty metaProp1 = metaProps.next();
// the value of the meta property
int metaProp1Value = metaProp1.getValue().asInt();
// the properties of the meta property itself
Iterator simpleProps1 = metaProp1.getProperties();
Property simpleProp11 = simpleProps1.next();
double simplePropValue11 = simpleProp11.getValue().asDouble(); 
Property simpleProp12 = simpleProps1.next();
double simplePropValue12 = simpleProp12.getValue().asDouble(); 

// **multi value** meta property.
VertexProperty metaProp2 = metaProps.next();
