As already discussed here: https://discuss.dgraph.io/t/cannot-use-apollo-federation-with-multiple-dgraph-instances/15562 dgraph automatically generates helper types when loading a GraphQL schema. When I now want to compose a supergraph for two dgraph instances, I am unable to composite schema (e.g. with apollo-rover or hive cli) to load into my gateway. Is there any possibility to deactivate the generation of helper types to allow to federate multiple graph databases?
