Description
Feature request
Federation looks really nice, but according to the docs there doesn't seem to be a way to incorporate dataloaders into it and there is no mention of federation implementing any kind of batching and how it would do that. Currently we have special batch queries used in schema stitching to efficiently load a long list of items, so how would this be done in federation?
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the federation documentation and the existing schema-stitching batch-query approach described in the issue; determine the intended dataloader and batching behavior, then define completion criteria for supporting it.
