Support for latest graphql library

[ts-ram]

Are there plans to support newer version of the graphql library on which elide is based o to support extended scalar data types ?

We made an attempt to upgrade a few years ago, but nobody has asked for it and it was non-trivial.

You can register custom scalars in Elide for GraphQL by creating a serde. Here is the code that registers them:

https://github.com/yahoo/elide/blob/master/elide-graphql/src/main/java/com/yahoo/elide/graphql/GraphQLConversionUtils.java#L68-L79

We can definitely look at doing an upgrade if there is something that cannot be accomplished with the current version.

Elide 5.0.6 has the latest Graphql-java library.
