Apollo-server: Options parameter for max query size
In the GitHunt code for the apolloServer config, there is an if statement to throw an error if the query is too long. https://github.com/apollostack/GitHunt/blob/master/api/index.js#L62
Are there benefits to making this check automatic using a default or user provided value in options?

That check is rather rudimentary. We're thinking about building some DOS protection into Apollo Server, like rate-limiting, query whitelisting and timeouts. We might also write a validation rule that lets you limit the query cost (determined using schema directives), but limiting the text length of the query is probably not something we'll make a standard option.
