What is the current behavior?

Currently when making a query with the block parameter, like

{
  tokens(block: {number: 10000000}) {
    id
    owner
  }
}

We get an error like :

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Failed to decode `block.number` value: `subgraph QmX2cspb9qty6nzUEwf7iw6jU7ptwk6hBp9VVhsHdHHcMA has only indexed up to block number 9753342 and data for block number 10000000 is therefore not yet available`"
    }
  ]
}

What is the expected behavior?

It would be great to have error code so we can easily differentiate between different type of error, instead of parsing the error message

Research direction

The issue's GraphQL query and current error response are the starting point; trace how block-number validation errors are surfaced. Done means clients can distinguish this not-yet-indexed condition from other errors without parsing the message text, with coverage for the shown query.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
