OrientDB all paths between two nodes - search

Question

#OrientDB 2.1.12 :
I want to find ALL possible PATHS of ANY length between two nodes considering navigation by OUT edges only.
I am using shortestPath() but it returns only one path. I searched a lot and I couldn’t find a native class which does this in OrientDB. I am already using non-native class. However, it is not efficient enough. Here some of the shortespath code:
s = " select expand( shortestpath(" + first_vertex.getId() + ", " + second_vertex.getId() + ", "+ direction +"))";
for (Vertex v : (Iterable<Vertex>) g.command(new OCommandSQL(s)).execute()){
. . .
. . .
}
Is there any native solution in OrientDB as it is the case in Neo4j?

I used this code by "LucaS" OrientDB get Edges with shortestPath()
I find it efficient and useful. What you think about? It retrieves all paths between two nodes. How I can determine the search depth to be for example of depth 2,3, 4 etc.?
