[Project] Handle thousands of node or edge types

[kmcginnes]

There have been a couple of reports of errors due to queries simply being too large. This is most likely caused by the queries in the system that list out every single node type or edge type to fulfill its function. When you have thousands of node or edge types, these queries can become quite large.

There are also some UI elements that list all the node or edge types. Thes likely have performance issues.

Queries that enumerate all node or edge types

• Fetch node properties for each node type
• Fetch edge properties for each edge type
• Keyword search for all node types
