Description

Lazy loading of "expensive" field values can help the performance of GraphQL queries, by omitting calls to methods that retrieve or compute data if the corresponding fields are not used in the result set.

A natural way of doing that is to return a Supplier<SomeType> instead of SomeType directly. I'm not sure if the GraphQL Core supports that correctly out of the box, it would be good to try that and maybe implement the corresponding improvements.
