GraphQL: Wait before merging last major version of GraphQL

[Moumouls]

Last version of Parse Server (4.2.0) was released with GraphQL 15.0.0.

I think we should wait before upgrading graphql to a major release because it can break and currently breaks merged schemas that use packages with another version like GraphQL Nexus or graphql tools.

Parse users will be stopped by the following Apollo Error :

Invalid options provided to ApolloServer: Cannot use GraphQLObjectType \"RoleConnection\" from another module or realm.\n\nEnsure that there is only one instance of \"graphql\"

This error cannot be resolved until the other tools allow the use of the latest version...

We should probably downgrade graphql to ^14.5.8 and release a new parser 4.2.1 ?

I wonder whether it would be clearer and easier if we just add a clear note to the changelog and release note?

[davimacedo]

@Moumouls I believe it will break till the moment the other packages will also upgrade to GraphQL 15.0, right? Since the tests are all passing, I believe we should not consider it a breaking change and I'd go with @TomWFox suggestion of a big disclaimer in the release notes.

GraphQL Tools is on the road: ardatan/graphql-tools#1353
I opened an issue on Nexus: graphql-nexus/nexus#410

It's currently WIP if graphql-tools, which shouldn't effect itself because it's using graphql as a peer dependency.
Is there a reason to have a direct dependency to graphql in this package? why not having it as dev+peer and allow people to install their own version of GraphQL?

Also, if you are using Yarn, you can solve that with resolutions field as a workaround.

[Moumouls]

I may be wrong but we can't use peer dependency system since parse server should run solo without installing any other dependency.
