| ### How do I enable Chained DataLoaders? | ||
| As this changes execution order, you must opt-in to Chained DataLoaders by setting key-value pairs in `GraphQLContext`. |

we actually recommend people to use the UnusualConfiguration option and not directly put stuff into the GraphQLContext. See https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java/blob/master/src/main/java/graphql/GraphQLUnusualConfiguration.java
I think we need todo a follow up PR to add this config there

Ok will change this
A note for another PR - other documentation pages will need an update to use the central Configuration class
| 2. Provide a `ScheduledExecutorService` to GraphQL Java, with key `DataLoaderDispatchingContextKeys.DELAYED_DATA_LOADER_DISPATCHING_EXECUTOR_FACTORY` and value implementing `DelayedDataLoaderDispatcherExecutorFactory` | ||

| ### What changed in GraphQL Java 25.0? | ||
| The DataFetcher in the example above, before version 25.0 would have caused execution to hang, because the first DataLoader ("name") was never dispatched. |

the first would dispatch, but not the second ("email")
