Description
Currently, self-reference queries are not supported, and they could lead to indefinite hanging. Since lance-graph is designed to target SQL execution engines and columnar storage optimizations in lance, we don't have a plan to support self-reference queries now, but encourage the users to write more lance-graph-friendly queries (see our discussion in https://github.com/lance-format/lance-graph/issues/111).
However, we still need to provide more user-friendly error messages for such queries, instead of letting the engine hang/crash.
