Graph Explorer Version (and Graph Database and Version used if applicable)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes a request in Graph Explorer will fail, but it should succeed.

• Syncing the schema
• Fetching search results
• Expanding a node
• Etc

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to either retry these requests automatically, or provide a mechanism for the user to retry.

A few things I've noticed in the code base:

• The proxy-server has a mechanism to perform retries, but it is set to only ever execute once, which disables any retrying
  • If retrying on the server is enabled, we would not be able to update the UI to let the user know their request is being retried
• The client has React Query, which has excellent built in retry logic, but doesn't use it for many of the fetches
• During the schema sync process, sometimes many requests are created and only a subset will fail, which will fail the entire sync
