Intended outcome:

Fired a query using ApolloClient.query(options) as described in https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/api/apollo-client.html#ApolloClient.query. I get the error "pollInterval option only supported on watchQuery". If i use watchQuery, adding pollInterval works, but not sure if I need observable queries, plus watchQuery is not well documented (subscribing to observable queries).

Actual outcome:

I get the error "pollInterval option only supported on watchQuery".

How to reproduce the issue:

Query using ApolloClient.query(options) as described in https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/api/apollo-client.html#ApolloClient.query.

Setting a polling interval is not supported when using ApolloClient.query. It only works with ApolloClient.watchQuery. The docs for this definitely need to be updated. Thanks for pointing this out!

Add QueryOptions and QueryBaseOptions interfaces
eb89b23 
`ApolloClient.query` is currently configured to accept
`WatchQueryOptions`, which means the docs show people that
passing things like `pollingInterval` into `ApolloClient.query`
is supported (when in reality it's only supported when using
`ApolloClient.watchQuery`). These changes add a new
`QueryOptions` interface, and pull some of the common options
out into a parent `QueryBaseOptions` interface.
`ApolloClient.query` has been updated to use the `QueryOptions`
interface, which should help clear up a bit of confusion.

Fixes #3395.

This is still wrong. Also, setting a polling interval on watchQuery is completely useless as it will just poll the cache?!

Is there a technical reason why polling isn't supported in client.query? As pointed out by others, polling using watchQuery will not be of much use.

It's still a bug in V3 also
